July 1995 – Brownhills Carnival

Brownhills Gazette July 1995 issue 70_000001

Brownhills Gazette July 1995 issue 70 – a 24 page issue with Carnival pictures, a couple of artists form an art group, an advert for Becksbridge Studio – what happened to that? Speeding under scrutiny, a bungee jump at the Warreners, crime news and lots more. Click for a larger version.

Continuing the scans of the Brownhills Gazette – I present issue 70 of the long lost freesheet, from July 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 the issue I held back last week due to the corrupted front cover – rejoice, David Evans sprang into action and sorted it. Top bloke, right there. Thanks old bean.

This is a 24 page issue with Carnival pictures, a couple of artists form an art group, an advert for Becksbridge Studio – what happened to that? Speeding under scrutiny, a bungee jump at the Warreners, crime news 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.

    Hi Bob
    I wonder if the Brownhills Round Table is still active and thriving
    cheers
    David

    • I don’t know to be honest. Been trying to get info without avail – I know there’s a group active locally for former Rotarians which seems busy.

      Cheers
      Bob
