West Bromwich Voices
(1940s and 1950s) is a new audio CD
which contains a collection of the
memories of 11 local people from the Black Country town and district of West
Bromwich. The project was devised and directed
by local historian Anne Wilkins who is the author of West Bromwich Town
Hall. Anne brought together the group for
a trip down Memory Lane which was recorded and edited by a Birmingham based
oral history production team called Talking
History. The CD is entertaining, evocative and
absorbing, with some fantastic stories recalled from over 60 years ago. How
different the world was back then — younger generations don’t know the half
of it! The project was funded by the Scarman
Trust and is a must for any local history archive but also makes marvellous
listening for anyone who loves the natural flow of the human voice, which in
this case has that jovial West Brom lilt that we know and love. Find out more by emailing us at: Recorded and Edited by Ray Gormley |
