Black Country Chapels: A Third Selection: Britain in Old Photographs

For 250 years chapels have been at the heart of Black country life - both social and religious. Poor social conditions in this heavily industiralised area stimulated the growth of religious nonconformity, and chapel influence is strong even today, despite many closures and demolitions over the last few years. In this third book, Ned Willliams covers the areas that have not been featured already - including Walsall, Wednesbury and Darlaston, as well as denominations that have so far been under-represented.
