I am an artist working on Forging Links, a project based in Sandwell that aims to engage the young people of Sandwell with the area’s industrious past and present. I wonder if you would be interested in helping the project by publishing this request for information on your website? Or passing it on to anyone you think might be interested?
What are your memories of Sandwell’s famous factories?
Do you have a story to tell about them?
Did you work for Patent Shaft, GKN or Accles and Pollock, just to name a few?
We would like you to send us your personal stories about Sandwell’s industries, so they can be brought to life through Forging Links.
Forging Links is a project that hopes to engage the young people of Sandwell with the area’s industrious past and present. Over the next 12 months we will be working with local people and Sandwell Council’s Museum Service and Community History and Archive Service to uncover the secrets of Sandwell’s industrial past. All the stories and memories collected will be used to create a website and exhibition which aims to present the heritage to a new generation.
If you would like to share your stories please send them to Forging Links, Multistory, 1st Floor, Landchard House, Victoria Street, West Bromwich, B70 8HY, or e-mail forginglinks@hotmail.com.
Kind Regards
Katie Shipley
