My Visit to the Black Country Museum, was July 21st 2005.
Based in Dudley, part of the West Midlands, the Museum is a working museum,with various settings of how life used to be. Shops , such as the Hardware store and Bakery, set out as they once were. Also there are craftsmen, like the Blacksmith, giving demonstrations to Interested onlookers. There was also a queue for the opening of the Chip Shop!
Even the local policeman was in the old uniform and on his bike too.
A funfair was also there, with plenty to amuse the children.
A tram takes you from the Visitor centre, to the main street of Interest.
The Visitor Centre includes old vehicles and artifacts from a bygone age.
There are Tea rooms and one was near to the Canalside, where barges and boats are on display.
Interesting place to visit for people keen on seeing how life used to be in the Black Country.
