Back then, there was no underground coal mine, Victorian school, Bradburn & Wedge car garage, Hobbs’ Fish & Chip shop, sweet and baker’s shop – the things that so many of us now love about the museum. In fact, it actually started life as planned buildings and streets marked out with tape so people really had to use their imagination! But the idea of an open-air museum was a complete novelty in Britain, which is why it has always been so special. Work began in 1975 on transforming a lime shafted, almost derelict land littered with in-filled mine infrastructure into a typical Black Country Village. Original buildings were taken from a derelict street in Oldbury and transformed into the hardware shop, pawnbrokers, back-to-back cottages, trap-making factory and chain shop. In the Eighties, the museum held car and bike rallies and boaters gatherings, together with Michaelmas markets at Christmas. This year, the museum is celebrating its 40th anniversary, and continues to go from strength to strength. The museum’s first director Ian Walden says: “Black Country Living Museum had a fantastic start and much support and national recognition to help it on its way to where it is today.” Keywords: Old theme park ; Classic Easter
