Reader Brian Clenton today landed us with a surprise: some excellent photos of Brownhills and Clayhanger life, mostly in the 1950s – these beautifully scanned images are wonderfully diverse, but Brian didn’t say much about them. Hopefully, he’s tuned in and will maybe add to the story.
Of course, readers are also welcome to add their four’peth too.
While I’m here, Brian asked me on Twitter a few days ago:
Now I’m too young to remember this farm, and I don’t think it’s been mentioned here before – so what do you guys know?
Thanks to Brian for an excellent contribution, much appreciated.
Please do comment, or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com.
