LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY: October saw the welcome return of Dr Bob Bushaway, of Birmingham University, who last spoke at a meeting last year on how the First World War has been portrayed by various artists. On this occasion his subject was The English Harvest and, again, the subject was viewed through descriptive eyes of many artists down the centuries. At the end of a fascinating and thought-provoking talk, accompanied by a marvellous variety of slides, Dr Bushaway answered questions from the audience.
The next meeting, on November 8, will be entitled The History of Petrol Filling Stations 1895-1939, when the speaker will be Mr T Lord.
Meetings are in the Greig Hall, at 8pm, when members and non-members are welcome.
