		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a great bit of cycling ephemera from David Evans. Lord knows where he found it, but I so love this. A brief history of Villiers, a true Wolverhampton engineering success story, who were associated with Sunbeam bicycles can be found here on the Wolverhampton University local history pages. I think this pamphlet is from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brownhillsbob.com&amp;blog=7528634&amp;post=7880&amp;subd=brownhillsbob&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Going out at the ungodly hour of 7:20am, I doubt many hereabouts were sufficiently caffeine-infused to register what was going on, let alone digest the finer points of Brian’s plan.

It’s got Dan Snow narrating, so should be a decent way to spend an hour learning about the locally located loot.

		<description><![CDATA[I’m indebted to reader Tony Wynn, who’s supplied another fascinating piece in the Ralph Ferrie jigsaw. The above story, from 1970, rings a vague bell; we know that Ralph had a garage on or near the old Midland Railway sidings up on the common near the A5. This was broadly opposite the ‘entrance’ &#8211; Pool [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brownhillsbob.com&amp;blog=7528634&amp;post=7856&amp;subd=brownhillsbob&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Once pitched by the Walsall Press Office as ‘A 21st Century Road’, this unloved, unlovely road suffers a distinctly 19th Century problem: poor drainage. Whole sections of the way were carrying several [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brownhillsbob.com&amp;blog=7528634&amp;post=7847&amp;subd=brownhillsbob&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Fresh from the bits and bobs box under [Howmuch?]’s sideboard: possibly the only photo I’ve ever seen of The Sportsman/Huntsman, the prefabricated, hideously ugly pub/club that stood on the land now occupied by the rather more aesthetically pleasing Smithy’s Forge.
