A small section on the Rushbrooke Farthing has been added to More about Willenhall.
Several mistakes have been corrected - if you see any more please let me know by email.
22nd February 2008
The new site is finished, for the moment at least. All the old material has been transferred and the old site has gone.
I will be adding more material to this site when possible - keep looking.
You can now contact us by email using a new address - willenhallhistory@gmail.com - please let me know what you think of the new site.
February 2008
New sections have now been included in the new site:
Cholera in Willenhall - the full text of the book describing the cholera outbreak in Willenhall in 1849
John Williams slides - slides from the 1960s by John Williams are now included along with the Allan Braddock pictures. Due to space limitations only a selection of John William's slides have been included but there are some very interesting old views of Willenhall.
Photos of Willenhall 2000 - a small selection of pictures taken in 2000, some of the buildings in the photos have disappeared already.
The photo pages have been rearranged so that you can use the index to find photos you want to see or use the 
and 
buttons to browse through all the photos in each section, or you can return to the index.
Links in the site are in light green, changing to blue green when you have visited them.
January 2008
The website is being revised to make it easier to use and to update. Most of the content remains the same, though things should be easier to find and should display better on your computer. The photo section will be completely redone to enable more photos to be included in the space available on the server.
While this is being done some material will be removed from the old site as it is transferred to the new one. I hope it is not too confusing!
With luck more information about Willenhall will gradually be added to the website, so keep coming back to see what is new!

We are very sorry to report the death of Horace Davis. Horace was a founder member of Willenhall History Society and has made a tremendous contribution to its success. As Recorder he has collected and looked after donations of material about Willenhall and he has also replied to many queries about the town. He has written many of the books published by the Society, which provide a lasting record for the future. As friends and colleagues we will miss Horace's common sense and quiet humour. We wish his wife Jean well at this time and will all greatly miss Horace.
