Thread Name: Black Country Dialect
Subject: RE: Black Country Dialect
My mother grew up in Bloxwich where her family had been locksmiths for generations but the business was wiped out in the early 70s along with so many other small old companies. The only Bible in her family home was a good Methodist one.
The Black Country Museum in Dudley stocks a lot of fascinating material about the region, including booklets. Even if it hasn't got the Black Country Bible it is well worth a visit - I took my nieces there last year to show them their roots, and they were enthralled. Anyway, Trevor, good luck with your reading at the carol service.
