Robert Hazel is the chair of Tipton Town libraries local history group. He wanted to let us know of an event that we would be happy to support.

Steve James, the local pub historian, will be signing his great book on local pubs of the Black Country, as well as showing photos of old pubs in Tipton.

The event is at Glebefields library, St Marks Road, Tipton on Saturday 24th February from 10.30 - 1pm.
