Black Country Remembered (Alton Douglas Presents)

the long version

Out of print for several years - this book is once again available. One of my earlier publications, it contains over 200 photographs and countless "vintage" advertisements. Relive the moment when the people of Stourbridge celebrated the Coronation of King George V. Then have a chuckle as comedian Charlie Drake makes a guest appearance at the SCM Typewriters factory in West Bromwich. See Walsall Station in 1969 as the floodwaters turn it into a "canal" - and remember too the floods of 1931 in Smethwick as the residents of Rosefield Road clear up after the deluge. Can be purchased direct from the author at http://www.altondouglas.co.uk
