More DescriptionPat Dunn presents another glimpse into the history of Lye, Wollescote, and Stambermill, small Black Country communities spawned by the Industrial Revolution. In a collection ofnbsp;more thannbsp;200 atmospheric photographs, the independence, sociability, and humor of their inhabitants are shown, depicting alehouses and allotments, bands, choirs, great gardens, and industrial streets.
