Taking the Hammerwich, Hednesford and Chasewater hundreds!

Old friend of the blog Ian Broad has been in touch again to continue his series of hundred years apart photos – this is the third set – he’s creating as part of his lockdown exercise bike rides.

The first three images be seen in this post here and the second set can be seen here. Thes brilliant images have caused quite the stir – a wonderfully popular project from a great blog contributor.

Spring Valley, Heath Hayes. But where was/is it? Can you help please?

You can actually help Ian here too – he’d like to know where the above image is taken. Do you have any idea, please? Heath Hayes isn’t my speciality, so contributions welcome on that one.

Hi Bob,

As I live in Heath Hayes I thought this might be a good 100 years project  pic.  However, I can’t find it… No reference to it apart from this postcard.

Any idea where it might be?

Thanks.

Ian.

Please do comment or mail me.

Jill Manchester did this with great success a few years ago in Walsall Wood.

Ian has previously supplied lots of material for the blog. including an eternally popular 1982 Shire Oak School leaver group photo outside the Royal Oak pub in Shire Oak and lots about the history of Ian’s family shop Tom’s Cabin, a fixture of Brownhills for many years throughout the 1980s.

The bike is a lovely touch. Image kindly supplied by Ian Broad.

I shan’t identify locations, I’ll let readers work them out…

Thanks to Ian for another great post and very thought provoking set of images, and if you have any views on this wonderful work, please do comment here or mail me – BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Thanks.
