Continuing the scans of the Brownhills Gazette – I present issue 66 of the long lost freesheet, from March 1995 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 is a 24 page issue with a rant about over-running roadworks, news of more rozzers on the beat, Mark Sanders was looking for business backers, Clanger finally gets a Sunday bus service, local poetry, Walsall Wood FC’s stadium makes it onto Radio 4, and lots more.
It’s worth noting the magazine has, at this point, been expanded to cover Pelsall, and there’s a fair bit of relevant content.
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.
