When the Birmingham pub bombs exploded on 21 November, 1974 it was not just the face of Britain's second city which was scarred. The lives of survivors and bereaved were irrevocably changed in a split second.
The wife of a railwayman is widowed and left with three children; a factory worker loses his leg and his fiancee is killed; a young girl is blinded and severely injured.
Three victims show how they have begun to adjust to a new life they did not want in the course of-just a year.
