Description
Wordsley Past and Present explores the rich history of this West Midlands town, situated on the western fringe of the conurbation now part of Dudley. From its early days as a Roman outpost to its development during the Industrial Revolution, the area has seen significant changes.
The book delves into Wordsley's past, highlighting notable events such as Charles II's royal visit after the Battle of Worcester and the growth of glass-making cones during this period. Recent developments, including schools, clubs, and societies, are also featured alongside profiles of over twenty local residents.
