  • Picture postcards for shows at lost Black Country theatres

    WE THANK Raymond Franks of Stourport-on- Severn for once again sending in some items from his collection of Black Country memorabilia. In the past he has shared with us several items related to local theatres and cinemas and these latest offerings date from the early 20th century.

  • Local building society’s keyless moneybox

    IT was a picture in Bugle 1066, a 1935 advert for the Brierley Hill and Stourbridge Incorporated Building Society, that caught the eye of Barbara Jones of Wordsley, because she has her own piece of related memorabilia, which she kindly brought along to the Bugle office.

  • Colour images of lost glass and brick makers

    WE’RE VERY lucky, in the 21st century, to still have such an iconic reminder of the Black Country’s glass trade, in the form of Wordsley’s Red House Cone and the museum built around it.
