Black Country Museum in appeal for donations of photos and more
The Black Country Living Museum has launched an appeal for donations which will be put towards a major expansion.
A new 1940s-60s town is to be created at the famous attraction as part of a £21.7 million project.
Museum bosses are hoping to raise £150,000 through public donations and are also calling on people to provide memories, photographs and objects of post-war Black Country to help them make the development as realistic as possible.
The scheme will involve the relocation of some historic buildings to the museum, including the West Bromwich Gas Showroom and Woodside Library in Dudley.
The upgrade is expected to attract an extra half a million people each year to the Tipton Road attraction and set it up for the next 40 years.
