Wednesbury Through Time Summary

Wednesbury Through Time by Ian M. Bott

Wednesbury Through Time is a unique insight into the illustrious history of this part of the West Midlands. Reproduced in full colour, this is an exciting examination of the well-known streets and famous faces, and what they meant to the people of this area throughout the 19th and into the 20th Century. Looking beyond the exquisite exterior of these well-kept photos, readers can see the historical context in which they are set, and through the author's factual captions for every picture, and carefully-selected choice of images, the reader can achieve a reliable view of the local history. There is something for everyone here, whether they have lived in the area all their lives, or whether they are just visiting Wednesbury for the first time. Wednesbury Through Time also shows how photography has continually evolved to keep up with an ever changing society.

About Ian M. Bott

Ian M Bott, a native of Wednesbury, spent his earliest working years as a watchmaker this busy market town. The tales and memories he heard from his friends and his customers fired his abiding interest and pride in the town and its immediate area. Since the late 1980's Ian has been highly regarded as an accomplished local historian, public speaker and author of several titles on a wide range of Black Country interests. His previous works include Wednesbury in Old Photographs, Black Country Murders, Wednesbury Revisited, Darlaston, Moxley & Bentley and Wednesbury Memories. Currently he divides his time between working as a guide at Walsall Leather Museum and an occupation considered somewhat unusual for a local historian - as a nightclub doorman!
