| Synopsis: |
Were it not for a strategically important crossing over the River Tame, linking Tipton with West Bromwich over a thousand years ago, Great Bridge might not have grown into one of the most important centres of industry and commerce in the Black Country during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its location on the main road between Birmingham and Dudley, and also at the junction of a highway from Tipton, was also a considerable factor in its success. Pictured in this book is a nostalgic account of life during the last century, touching on the occupations and pastimes of people from not only Great Bridge but also parts of the surrounding areas of Golds Hill, Greets Green, Horseley Heath, Swan Village and Toll End. The community spirit which existed and the changes that have occurred in these areas, in many cases within living memory, are shown here in a collection of over 300 photographs with informative captions compiled by local author Terry Price. In this, his second book dealing with Great Bridge, most of the photographic material has again originated from private collections and has therefore never previously been published. |
