THE BLACK COUNTRY LIVING MUSEUM, DUDLEY

摘要

The society's tour of the buildings of the Black Country Living Museum was expertly led by Selwyn Owens, Construction and Facilities Manager of the museum, assisted by John Beckerston, the Senior Curator, who gave a short talk on the history of the museum. After the talk members were able to view the superb drawings of two of the largest buildings on the site, the former Rolfe Street Public Baths, Smethwick, and the former Workers' Institute, Cradley Heath. These show every brick, terracotta panel, window, door and chimney on the building and include plans, elevations and sections.
