A new book packed with historic and nostalgic Walsall rail, bus, canal and townscape photographs from the 1950s onwards has been published by the Centre. The pictures are by the late Walsall local historian and photographer Jack Haddock, and the book has been edited and designed by Stuart Williams. Entitled and costing £8 plus p&p, the book is the ideal gift and is on sale here now. Tel: 01922 652212 to order.

Historic images of Walsall will soon be available to view on our new archives website, which is currently under development.
