Description
Willenhall to Horseley Fields is a collection of over 200 old photographs that capture the essence of life in these two communities.
The town of Willenhall, affectionately known as 'Humpshire', has remained relatively unchanged over the years. This book showcases the history of lockmaking and everyday life in the area, from people at work to leisure activities and sports. In contrast, the old area of Horseley Fields has largely disappeared.
Through these photographs, the book provides a unique glimpse into the past, revealing how both towns have evolved over time. With its mix of industrial and domestic scenes, this collection is sure to appeal to anyone interested in local history and heritage.
