This is Ron Davies's sixth book about the Black Country townships of Bilston, Bradley & Ladymoor. The area has a rich industrial heritage, which forged a strong sense of community among its residents, many of who worked in the factories, foundries and workshops. In these tight-knit settlements, churches and chapels, sports clubs and societies grew and flourished, and the people who lived here - despite tough times and often poor living conditions - all stuck together. This collection of over 200 old photographs will provide a window onto the past for those who enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
