Seriously. You have to go and see it. Brierley Hill Festival of Christmas Trees got underway today (Saturday 7th December), and it runs until next Sunday (15th December). At least 28 individuals, organisations and local businesses contributed a tree – a fantastic number for a festival which is in its first year. It is heartwarming when our local community comes together like this in Brierley Hill and it makes me very proud to live in the town.
Travels with Pevsner: “As if a place like Brierley Hill needed any flats”

Nikolaus Pevsner wrote and published a 46 volume series of books on the buildings of England. The last volume to be published (1974) covered Staffordshire and included buildings in Brierley Hill, Quarry Bank, Brockmoor and Pensnett. It also included some odd comments about Brierley Hill flats and the Black Country.

The first ever Christmas Tree festival is taking part in Brierley Hill from Saturday 7th – Sunday 15th December 2013. St Michael’s Church is asking individuals and organisations to loan them a Christmas tree (2’-6’) decorated to reflect their activity.
