A Postcard from the Past - Down the Curly Wyrley

The Wyrley and Essington Canal, known locally as "the Curly Wyrley", is a canal in the West Midlands. While the history books will tell the story of the engineering achievements, the dates it was built, Brian Stringer tell us how he saw the world back in the 1940's.

Brian's story is unique, its not found in a history book, or a jealously guarded well thumbed document in an archive. Its a story told by a person who has chosen to step outside of the restraints of academic history, so he can tell it as it was, and present his memories to the public; Brian is making public history.

From these stories we can learn how our ancestors lived, and about the things that were important to them, and how we then gain a sense of identity.
