Hi all,

Spent some time sorting Wednesbury out, but it's ready to download now. 
Some pubs have been introduced from Darlaston, and others moved into Darlaston. 
Next update Darlaston.
The research continues.

Hi all,


So soon already, I hear you say.  I’ve important news to deliver, as well as current pub details.

It’s all FREE.  Yesterday, the whole site became freely downloadable.  No more CDs, or sockets to play them in – just visit the website, and download what you need.  I’m working on Tipton at the moment, and a new version should be available next.

Hi all,

Happy New Year.

I hope that you like the new downloadable Breweries file.  I’ve been working on it about as long as the pub files, but have been keeping it secret.  It is like the other files, but listed by town.

The files from Sandwell Edition 2 are now on the site to download – so the CD is no longer available for purchase. Smethwick and Oldbury have been updated to Edition 3.

Below are the latest updates.

Cheers,
Tony

Hi Folks,

At last the day has come, when Hitchmough's Black Country Pubs begins to go free. We will gradually replace the CDs with free downloadable files, covering each of the subdivisions. The first to go live is Smethwick edition 3. All the usual support is there, i.e. sources, how to use the information, gazeteer, glossary.
I am working on the Oldbury file at the moment and then who knows where? As soon as I have decided I will let you know.

The Smethwick edition 3 file is now available as a free download – enjoy!

The research continues.

Dec 28, 2012

Hi all,

It was encouraging to see such a good turnout at the launch of Walsall and Wolverhampton, edition 2, in November.  Apologies to those who did not get their CDs on the day – I trust that they were delivered OK.  Who’d have thought that they would sell out so quickly?
I am now working on updating my files, as I discover new information.  My efforts are being concentrated on Sandwell, as that would be the next in turn for a new edition.  However, I am thinking of a different strategy in future.  The ‘back office’ helpers say they need a life, and the size of all the files on a CD is getting too much to cope with in one go.  So the plan is that when one particular subsidiary file has a significant amount of additional content, that file will be constructed, and made available on the website for you to download.
Now here’s the really good news.  Since you won’t be getting a CD, and only elements of a CD will be produced as and when, you’ll get it for nothing!  All you have to do is check on the website.  Anticipate about three files per year.
CDs will continue to be on sale until all files on a CD have been updated and made available to download.
The research continues.

Hi all,
Sorry I've not been in touch, but here I am now.
Recently I have acquired the archive material of the late John Richards, some of which I will endeavour to pass on to local history societies and archive services.  It will take some time to process.

Work is proceeding at a pace on the 2nd edition of Walsall and Wolverhampton CD, due out in autumn 2012.

The research continues.

Hi all,

Thanks to those of you who have used the CDs at libraries, or have bought your own copies. Thanks also to those of you who supply me with queries and more importantly added information. If anyone out there would like to let me know how you have found the CDs have helped / hindered your own research, I would be delighted to hear from you. I can then list your thoughts on the website. Thanks to those who have bought the new Dudley 2nd edition CD. I hope that you find it useful / interesting. I have been gathering more and more information on Sandwell pubs, and it is looking a possibility that a 3rd edition of Sandwell is more likely than a 2nd edition of Walsall and Wolverhampton. My supporters in Walsall and Wolverhampton, however, think that a 2nd edition should be my priority. We shall see.

Also I am being nagged by my friends and advisors to put more work into the Brewers, Maltsters, Coopers etc. CD. The research continues.

Hi all,

I have spent a lot of time recently working on the Dudley CD, and am pleased to announce that a second edition of Dudley will be launched at 2pm, on Friday, March 26th, 2010, in the lounge of the Jolly Crispin, Clarence Street, Upper Gornal. Thanks to all who have contributed information and pictures.
I am now also working on a new project, ie. brewers, maltsters, coopers etc., of the Black Country. This, I know, will take some time. The research continues.

Sandwell CD - 2nd Edition Launched

Two years have passed since the Sandwell CD came out. In that time I have looked at a lot more sources of information (discovering some new old pubs), acquired many more photographs, and made many helpful friends.
This second edition is packed with much more than the first. Not only is it bigger, but the layout is much better. Each pub has its own page(s), making it easier to find what you want, and printing is a doddle. The majority of pubs have much more information, and a number of anomalies on the first edition have been ironed out.
