    The Bridgtonian

    THE BRIDGTONIAN AUTUMN 2018 Members : Free Non-Members : £1.75 Editorial Your magazine for Autumn 2018 is a few weeks late but here it is at last. Your editor has had a difficult time putting together the society’s latest book. Even more difficulties have been encountered trying to get it printed. However, success has come eventually as a glance at the front cover of this magazine will confirm. The book is, of course, the second volume in the “History of Bridgtown” series and deals with our Industrial Heritage. It all started with the edge tool industry. Without the edge tool industry there would probably never have been a Bridgtown in the first place. The book will be on sale at our Open Day on Sunday 2nd December. I hope that we shall be seeing most of you at our Open Day on 2nd December. Look for more details within this magazine. Don’t forget that this year it is at ~The Bethel”. We have discovered quite a lot of new photographs for you to see and, as we will be in December, refreshments will include mince pies this year! I would like to take this opportunity to record my thanks to Katherine Page for rescuing the society in its times of need this year. Twice she has “stood in” when we have found ourselves without a speaker and she has also taken over from David Battersby in fulfilling the role of finding our regular monthly speakers for the future. This is a difficult and unrewarding job, but Katherine is doing well at it and she has almost completed the 2019 programme already.

    JOURNAL OF THE ENGLISH PLACE-NAME SOCIETY Volume 43 (2011) ISSN 1351–3095 ______________________________________________________________ The Black Country David Horovitz (pp. 25–34) ______________________________________________________________ This article is from the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, an annual peer-reviewed journal issued free to members of the Society. The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal. Annual subscription prices (correct as of April 2017): Within the UK Outside the UK £40 (full) £45 (full)* £15 (associate) £18 (associate* *increased prices reflect increased postage cost.
