Continuing the scans of the Brownhills Gazette – I present issue 28 of the long lost freesheet, from January 1992 for you to peruse and download. I’ve had an incredible response to featuring these long, lost publications here on the blog.

David Evans, very kindly granted access to the archive held by former editor and contributor Brian Stringer, has been assiduously and conscientiously scanning them all. Every single issue. Every few days, I’m going to feature the next in the series.

This new year issue covers market day parking problems, wheelie bin ballots, Graham Walker having a moan again, an archive photo from Brownhills Central School, recent school news and much more.

Brian Stringer was a brilliant editor who still knows his stuff, and campaigns relentlessly for the place he loves. Brian was clearly working hard and getting into his stride here.

The history of how the Brownhills Gazette came to exist has been detailed in this post thanks to the wonderful John Sylvester.

If other bloggers want to use this material, can you please drop me a line first? I don’t mind, there’s just sone stuff I’d like to clear about the usage, thanks.

Cheers to Brian and David for sharing a wonderful thing, that’s part of our community history.

    The photograph of the Central School 1931-32 on the Archive page shows my dad, Bernard (always known as Barney) White, second boy from the left on the top row. He would have been 11 or 12 years old at the time and living either at The George and Dragon, Pelsall, or on Pier Street, Brownhills.

    Sorry, my previous comment should read The George and Dragon. Clayhanger. They later lived at The Old Bush, Pelsall, then Pier Street.
