Produced entirely on their own initiative
One thing curating the Brownhills Blog has done for me is to render me in a permanent magpie state, always looking for lost ephemera, stories, media or other material relating to our town – often annoying to those who know me, I can’t pass a junk shop without diving in; jumble sales, vintage fairs and the like pull me in for hours on end.
