Pedro Cutler has been a bit of a whizz of late with the newspaper archives. It seems he’s been scouring the old editions of the Lichfield Mercury for Walsall Wood relevant news. More to follow. He’s found some great snippets, which make cracking reading for a Sunday afternoon – if anyone has further to add to any of these, please do comment.

Don’t forget to check out Pedro’s excellent Panoramio galle. He’s a great bloke. Thanks old chap.
