We have a great night’s entertainment this Thursday evening, 7.30pm on 27th May at the Salem, as it’s our old friend David Bartley with ’An Evening of Black Country Banter and Poetry’.  Now appearing with the likes of Ken Dodd etc, David hosts most of the Black Country evenings in all of our local areas and is certainly a night not to miss.

Most welcome visitors this week at our base were Marion and John Fallon from Liverpool tracing their Dace family tree and connections.  We were able to pool our knowledge together and then supply them with the missing information they were looking for through our local records.  Base is open as normal this Tuesday from 10am – 4pm.

We have received an entire collection of Brass Plaques, Awards and Momentoes from a Vintage Cars and Bikes enthusiast from rallies he attended from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Also we have copied a 1929 book entitled ‘The Wyrley Stones’, that relates to the finds of a local miner William Rigby who kept all the fossils he found in a lifetime down the pit and he opened a museum in a shed adjoining his house when he retired in 1922.  We are now appealing for information on the Rigby family and the remarkable finds.
