This is the front cover of Codsall & Bilbrook History Society's latest publication. It's the first ever one to be produced in glossy format. It runs to 66 A4-sized pages and costs £10, contains a mixture of carefully researched narrative, plus individual accounts, and dozens of photographs. Any profits from sales will be ploughed back into the work of the society. It's an excellent opportunity to read about what was a huge employer in the Codsall area, and a nursery famed throughout the world, for the quality of its flowers. Anyone in- terested in purchasing a copy please cont- act webmaster Rob Davies: robdavies1@ntlworld.com or by phoning 01743 364842 or 07719 713458.
