On Saturday 18th October 2008 the Black
Country Society, in partnership with the University of Birmingham
once more held its annual Black Country History Day at the
University. As on previous occasions the event, the third
thus far, featured Guest Speakers from across a broad range
of disciplines, all with a local flavour. Taking the floor
this year were:
Graham Fisher MBE ('More Miles than Venice'
- the canals of Birmingham and the Black Country)
Sally Hoban (Arts and Crafts and the Pre-Raphaelites)
Keith Hodgkins (Civic Architecture of the
Black Country)
Dr. Michael Hall (Francis Brett Young)
Following the event Guest Speaker Graham Fisher, who is
also a broadcaster on 102.5 FM The 'Bridge, subsequently
invited the three other speakers to be guests on his regular
afternoon show Graham Fisher in conversation with ... to
chat about their respective specialities and their experiences
of the hugely successful History Day.
Graham has subsequently drawn all three
of these three fascinating interviews together and they
are now available to listen to again, free of charge, here
on the Black Country Society website. |
