AUCTIONS IN REDDITCH Taken from the Index of Newspaper Documents This Document…….. We have been researching the history of Redditch as reported in newspapers as events happened. We have collected together over 15,000 clips of such events and these have been organised into about 200 categories. Each of these documents reports the newspaper clips for that category in chronological sequence. At the start of each document is an index to the contents of that document. This document represents the index for “Auctions in Redditch” documents which gives an overall view of life in Redditch through the years. These documents have been created to enable those interested in researching, or just reading about Redditch history, and opportunity to see what topics have been included in the detailed documents, which, for copyright reasons, cannot be put on-line. The detail documents are accessible off-line at shows, exhibitions and other events organised by the Redditch Local History Society.
