Our latest book 'Tales of Old West Bromwich' should be available at the end of this month and will be exclusively available at lulu.com...

This fascinating book details hundreds of crimes and
accidents that happened in West Bromwich during the
nineteenth century. It includes accounts of explosions,
fires and other accidents, in industrial and residential
settings, as well as mishaps on the roads, canals and
railways.
 
Separate chapters deal with all manner of crime, from
petty theft to murder, while others cover the grim
reality of poverty and neglect in the town.
 
While famous criminal cases and accidents in the
Black Country have been retold many times, the vast
majority of the events in this book have not appeared
in print since they were first reported and therefore
represent fresh material for those with an interest in
the history of the town.
