HBCP Bilston 3.Pdf HITCHMOUGH’S BLACK COUNTRY PUBS BILSTON (Inc. Bradley, Hallfields) 3rd. Edition - © 2016 Tony Hitchmough. All Rights Reserved www.longpull.co.uk INTRODUCTION Well over 40 years ago, I began to notice that the English public house was more than just a building in which people drank. The customers talked and played, held trips and meetings, the licensees had their own stories, and the buildings had experienced many changes. These thoughts spurred me on to find out more. Obviously I had to restrict my field; Black Country pubs became my theme, because that is where I lived and worked. Many of the pubs I remembered from the late 1960’s, when I was legally allowed to drink in them, had disappeared or were in the process of doing so. My plan was to collect any information I could from any sources available. Around that time the Black Country Bugle first appeared; I have never missed an issue, and have found the contents and letters invaluable. I then started to visit the archives of the Black Country boroughs. Directories were another invaluable source for licensees’ names, enabling me to build up lists. The censuses, church registers and licensing minutes for some areas, also were consulted. Newspaper articles provided many items of human interest (eg. inquests, crimes, civic matters, industrial relations), which would be of value not only to a pub historian, but to local and social historians and genealogists alike. With the advances in technology in mind, I decided the opportunity of releasing my entire archive digitally, rather than mere selections as magazine articles or as a book, was too good to miss. This would allow those people with interests, such as mentioned above, to search for relevant innformation. (sic) The files contain information about every pub that has been found to exist in each of the districts within the Black Country, along with a number of illustrations. Originally a series of 3 CDs was for sale, covering the Black Country boroughs. After 2 editions of each CD I am now producing individual files for each township sub-area. These files are available for free download by anyone interested. A number of years have passed since the first CD came out. In that time I have looked at a lot more sources of information (discovering some new old pubs), acquired many more photographs, and made many helpful friends. Thanks to the many people such as Denis Harper and Keith Hodgkins, who have allowed their own photographs to be used. In 2010 I was asked by the relatives of the late John V. Richards to sort through his own archive of material, in order to redistribute it to appropriate groups. This has been very useful in confirming, and providing new, information. I have also been asked to disseminate information gathered by Jim Laws, Wolverhampton CAMRA’s pub preservation officer/pub historian, who is unfortunately incapacitated. I hope you find this file useful. Please, if you can, show your appreciation by contributing information or photographs. If you feel so inclined you can even make a donation via the downloads page on the website to help defray our expenses. The work, as ever, continues. Tony Hitchmough March 2016 With many thanks to the 'back office': Janet, Sam and Gavin. Hitchmough Grooves DISTRICTS The districts covered by the CDs were generally based on the modern places created in the 1970’s, ie, Sandwell, Dudley, Walsall and Wolverhampton. These are then subdivided into the old townships which had existed for many years previous, and are as follows:- SANDWELL Oldbury (inc. Causeway Green, Langley, Oakham, Rounds Green, Tividale) Rowley Regis (inc. Blackheath, Cradley Heath, Old Hill, Whiteheath) Smethwick (inc. Bearwood, Londonderry, Warley) Tipton (inc. Dudley Port, Great Bridge, Princes End, Toll End) Wednesbury (inc. Kings Hill, Leabrook, Mesty Croft) West Bromwich (inc. Golds Green, Greets Green, Hill Top, Lyndon) DUDLEY Brierley Hill (inc. Pensnett, Quarry Bank, Round Oak) Dudley (inc. Harts Hill, Kates Hill, Priory, Woodside) Halesowen (inc. Colley Gate, Cradley, Hasbury, Lapal) Kingswinford (inc. Himley, Wall Heath) Netherton (inc. Darby End, Dudley Wood, Saltwells, Windmill End) Sedgley (inc. Coseley, The Gornals, Woodsetton) Stourbridge (inc. Amblecote, Lye, Wollaston, Wollescote, Wordsley) WALSALL & WOLVERHAMPTON Bilston (inc. Bradley, Hallfields) Darlaston (inc. Butcroft, Moxley, Wood’s Bank) Walsall (inc. Bloxwich, Leamore, Palfrey, Pelsall, Rushall, Shelfield, Walsall Wood) Wednesfield (inc. Ashmore Park, Fallings Park, Heath Town, Moseley Village, Park Village, Wood End) Willenhall (inc. Bentley, New Invention, Portobello, Short Heath) Wolverhampton (inc. Blakenhall, Codsall, Oxley, Penn, Tettenhall, Whitmore Reans UPDATES I am planning to continue my researches, and will be producing updated versions of each file (for free download) as sufficient additional content is found. Hopefully new old pubs will continue to be discovered, as will some mysteries be cleared up. I maintain an Update service on the website to advise of pub discoveries made during the interim between releases. If anyone is able to provide extra, relevant information and / or pictures, about any of the pubs and people contained within this work, I would be grateful to hear from you, initially by e-mail at: [email protected] I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted By: Clickintopr.Com Friday, 4 August 2006
    Safety Showers Experts Receives Queen's Award Submitted by: CLICKintoPR.com Friday, 4 August 2006 During a ceremony at the company’s Stockport factory, Hughes Safety Showers (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk) has received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise International Trade (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/Queens_Award.asp) from the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Colonel Sir John Timmins. The company supplies emergency safety showers, eyebaths and decontamination equipment. Managing Director Tony Hughes expressed his personal pride in winning such a prestigious award but emphasized that it had been a team effort. From 2003 to 2005, export sales increased by almost 150%. The growth in business came from countries where Hughes is already well established and from new markets targeted by the recently expanded sales team. The appointment of an export manager, technical manager and the company’s first marketing manager has introduced new skills and experience. The company’s Germany subsidiary, Hughes Notduschen GmbH (http://www.hughes-notduschen.de), has played a pivotal role in expanding European business. Opening offices in North America and the Middle East (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/world_distributors/worldHome.php) earlier this year has further strengthened the company’s position internationally. ‘The choice of products has played a key role in our success’, says Tony Hughes. ‘We’ve developed a particularly wide range and created showers and eyebaths (http://www.hughes-safety-showers.co.uk/productsHome.asp) specifically for overseas customers. They can be dispatched as sub-assemblies to minimize shipping costs and then easily built on site.

Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1947-48 Disgrifiad / Description A miscellaneous collection of books, mainly modern Welsh. Although mostly duplicates, they will be available for loan purposes, especially in connection with extra-mural classes (Dept of Printed Books). HERBERT MORGAN 1948002 Ffynhonnell / Source The late the Reverend Herbert Morgan, M A., Aberystwyth. Blwyddyn / Year Adroddiad Blynyddol / Annual Report 1947-48 Disgrifiad / Description Supplementary Report. The National Library was granted by the executor, Professor Aaron, the first choice of books from the valuable and extensive collection of the late Rev Herbert Morgan, MA (Dept of Printed Books). The books selected have now been catalogued and classified. Approximately 1,500 books and pamphlets were chosen, of which some fifty were transferred to the Department of Duplicates. The books selected for the general library are mainly foreign works, German, French and Italian. Most of them are on doctrinal and Biblical theology and on the philosophy of religion, with a few on modern German metaphysics. There is a considerable number of books on the sociological implications of Christianity, a subject in which Mr Morgan was keenly interested. Several important trends of Roman Catholic and Protestant religious thought in Western Europe are well represented, including, in particular, a large number of the works of Loisy and the Catholic modernist school, written mostly in French and Italian. In fact, there seems to be a copy of practically everyone of Loisy's books in the original French edition.

  • Royal Visits to Wigan, 1873-2005
    Wigan Archives & Local Studies Royal Visits to Wigan, 1873-2005 The following index provides an account of the visits made to the Wigan area by members of the Royal Family, 1873- 2005. The accompanying spreadsheet gives further detailed information on dates and sources, together with details of press reports of the visits made. This index was gratefully produced by Vic Rawlinson, Wigan Local Studies volunteer, from original sources held by Wigan Archives and Local Studies. Wednesday 4th June 1873 The Prince and Princess of Wales In January 1873 enquiries were made regarding the possibility of a royal visit to Wigan for the occasion of the official opening of the new Wigan Infirmary. Advice was received that unfortunately Her Majesty Queen Victoria would not be able to attend as had been hoped, but this was promptly followed by confirmation that the Prince of Wales had accepted the invitation. The arrangements were that the Prince and the Princess would be staying at Haigh Hall as the guests of the Earl & Countess of Crawford and Balcarres, whilst they were in the locality, they would be combining the visit to Wigan with the opening of a new Town Hall in Bolton and also to the unveiling of a statue in Southport dedicated to a Dr. Chadwick who had been a benefactor to that town. The Royal couple arrived at North Western Station by rail on Tuesday 3rd. June and proceeded to Haigh Hall where a formal reception was held. The following day the official party made their way to the Infirmary, leaving Haigh plantations via the Whelly gates.
