It could not be further from the sea yet West Bromwich's Town Hall has a great naval tradition linked to wartime memories. In this book those who have stepped under its entrance of well-proportioned arches recall the dances, parties, school day events, choral and pop concerts, and shows for everything from the sound of the big band to floral displays. Some little known features are highlighted to reveal another side to the intriguing history of this impressive piece of Gothic architecture. Produced for the West Bromwich Library User Group.
