Newcomers to the area would probably find it hard to believe that until a few years ago, a thriving Working Mens Club existed in Friezland Lane. Houses now occupy the site but this months photo takes us back to 1926 when the Club was officially opened. It was sent in by Mr. Martin Hession who is no stranger to our column having been mentioned several times before and he has given us the names of all the original committee as follows: Back row: Mr. Jackson, Tom Wood, Jim Hession, A. Craddock, J. Paget, Mr. Tamms, H. Wood, A. Jackson and F. Breedon. Front Row: Mr. & Mrs. Blakemore, Mr. Reeves, Mr. Armitage, W. Knowles, E. Paget, Mr. Rollinson, Mr. Greenhough, Mr. Amos. Martin also informs us that Mr. David Bradbury of Brownhills was the Architect of the Oub and a local man Mr. Princep was the builder.

The Auto Express citation reads: "No apologies for the four car short-list. The class was judged on: accommodation, ease of driving, off-road ability, performance, safety and security, styling and value for money. "The honour has gone to what is, in our opinion, the world's best off road vehicle. "After its success in 1993, this year the Discovery gained a nicer-look ing interior, better engines, gearboxes and the unprecedented option of air bags, thereby making it one of the safest 4x4s in the world."
