This new book by Ned Williams takes a fresh look at the town of
Dudley, often known as the Capital of the Black Country. Dudley
occupies a special position in the Black Country - right in the
centre of the ridge that bisects the region. It became
industrialised in the same way as its neighbours, but the presence
of its castle and zoo, as well as its fine town centre and its
attractive residential districts made it seem more than just
another Black Country town. In truth, Dudley had to face all the
grim implications of nineteenth-century rapid industrialisation,
and it spent the first half of the twentieth century overcoming all
its problems. Then came local government reorganisation (in 1966
and 1974) and the proud borough that had been created in 1865
suddenly took on a new form. This book looks back to the pre-1966
version of Dudley and studies the life and times of a rather
special town: a town of which Dudley people were very proud.
