Watling Street is a great school with a proud history – but can we find the book?
Hi folks – this is just a quick enquiry from reader Adrian Reid. He’s after a book on a very specific bit of local history that has become rather rare, like most such volumes do. I’ll let Adrian explain.
Hi Bob
Wondered if you could help me?
Im trying to get hold of a book called ‘Memories of Watling Sreet School 125 Year Anniversary’, by Jan Farrow.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Ade.
There’s a copy in Walsall Local History Centre for inspection, and I’m sure I’ve also seen in in Brownhills Library, but I think Adrian is after one to purchase – can anyone help?
The book was published in 2003, and doesn’t seem to have an ISBN number. Jan Farrow has written several books on local history, so if anyone knows her and could ask if she’s got a copy spare, that would be very much appreciated.
Please comment here or mail me on BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.
I reckon these railings are the oldest in Bronhills, and form part of the wonderful frontage of the school on the A5; they are without question pre-war and clearly survived the drive to remove such ironwork for ‘The War Effort’.
