FROM a few Anglo-Saxon hamlets set in a mostly agricultural
landscape, to the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, West Bromwich gradually developed into one of
the most successful and prosperous towns in the Black Country. The
resultant vast and diverse array of privately owned shops, together
with innumerable and wide-ranging leisure activities evoke fond
memories of a bygone age in present-day residents. Moments in the
life of West Bromwich born Hollywood actress Madeleine Carroll are
also recalled in a photographic tribute to her film career and
hitherto little-known humanitarian work. Relive those golden
memories in this second selection of old West Bromwich photographs
compiled by local author and historian Terry Price, who takes
another nostalgic look at shops, street scenes, schooldays and
social activities in all parts of the borough during the last
century. Almost 400 photographs, the majority coming from private
unpublished collections, combined with the author's informative
captions, are sure to delight long-established residents and
newcomers alike.
