RECENT TALKS & EVENTS
The second book about Brierley Hill by Ned Williams and members of the Mount Pleasant Local History Group was launched on Friday 4th March 2011 at the Methodist Church in the centre of Brierley Hill. A large crowd gathered to see the new book launched and to purchase their copies. The event also featured a slide show illustrating the material that has gone into the two books about Brierley Hill - and to encourage people to come forward with material for the next one! (Brierley Hill at Work).
The first copy of the book was unwrapped from its box by Kevin Gripton and this copy was ceremoniously passed on to the guest of honour: Anna Terrana - the girl from Bank Street who became a famous 1970s singer as "Lady Jane".
