A 12 page issue – Clayhanger Bridge is rebuilt causing inconvenience, there’s a canal clean up going on, Walsall Wood Boxing Club is still fighting for its life, George and Daisy Edwards celebrate their 50th, a VE day party from the archives and lots more. Click for a larger version.
Continuing the scans of the Brownhills Gazette – I present issue 41 of the long lost freesheet, from February 1993 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 issue clocks in at 12 pages, and continues the newspaperish style, Clayhanger Bridge is rebuilt causing inconvenience, there’s a canal clean up going on, Walsall Wood Boxing Club is still fighting for its life, George and Daisy Edwards celebrate their 50th, a VE day party from the archives and lots more.
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.
