Between the outbreak of the Second World War and the end of the
century, life changed dramatically for the working-class people of
the Black Country. Having survived the hardships of war, they found
themselves facing a slew of social issues, all the while playing a
vital role in manufacturing to stabilise the country's struggling
economy. Innovations such as the wireless, television and cinema
also brought huge societal changes that would move them closer to
the present day. As well as a nostalgic look at the past, this book
details the appalling health conditions, pollution, morality and
crime in the region, before finally taking a look at the decline of
crucial industries. Tom Larkin takes us back to the good old days
and asks the question - whatever happened to the real Black
Country? The author's royalties are being donated to the
Wolverhampton charity Let Us Play.
