[Misc] Black Country Living Museum

[crodonilson]

Oooh, not that far from me [Wellington] - not everyone's cup of tea but Pitchford Hall might kill a few hours



SVR is £25 per head for a day ticket and, again, not everyone's cup of tea, but stopping off at Bewdley is recommended - museum and pub grub very local to the SVR station.

Do you know of a Terry, Brighton fan, in Shifnal??

Shifnal not too far from me.
There are quite a few Brighton fans in the area but I'm unaware of a Terry.

I thought that sort of conversation only happened in comedy shows!

simple question, is it any good, what’s it like?

I’ve tried to give it a fair go, as they get played a LOT on BBC 6 Music, but I just can’t get on with them.

It’s all a bit wilfully ‘aren’t we clever for being so discordant and artistic’ for me. Though I believe the second album is a bit more accessible, apparently.

Remind me of another band back in the day called Moonshake, that I also tried several times to give a chance, but couldn’t warm to at all.

Well, we had our break away in Shropshire, and a thoroughly good time was had by all.

Really liked the Black Country Living Museum, and would probably like to go back in a couple of years, as they ae doing a lot of work on the site at present.

We did sample the fish and chips, as suggested, but my wife was a little disappointed she couldn't get a battered sausage (oh er Missus), and didn't quite get that wouldn't have been authentic!

We had some good days out walking too, visiting Much Wenlock (great name), Attingham Hall, with a lovely stroll through the deer park and of course the almost compulsory visit to Ironbrige. We also popped through to Carding Mill Valley, but didn't brave the Long Mynd, as we thought it too difficult with a disabled buggy!

Thanks for all the previou suggestions, I really do think it's a part of the country we will be re-visiting!

Splendid!

I moved here from Sussex [with work] 21 years ago and I've found many similarities with Sussex but in general its more rural and less densely populated.
Major difference obviously is the lack of seaside ....

Glad you enjoyed the Black Country Museum. We went on the way back from the Wolves away game as we stayed up there for a few days. I definitely think Beamish is better, but this will probably catch up in a couple of year when all the building work has finished,

Bit of a long shot, but I know what a geographically diverse membership we have on these boards.

The simple question, is it any good, what’s it like?

Over the years I have visited Beamish several times (ex wife was a Geordie) and pre Covid visited Blists Hill Victorian Town and enjoyed both. I love the looking back at how we used to live, in the days before the modern luxuries we so take for granted.

We are going to Shropshire at the end of May and wondered if this was worth giving a go.

Any opinions?

Mrs D7 went just before Covid and says it was brilliant - were going late summer. Lots of Peaky Blinders scenes were done there
