The ‘Made in Oldbury’ project investigated unique archive materials in Sandwell in relation to our local industrial heritage, an integral part in shaping our culture. It engaged with individuals and groups in areas of Oldbury and Langley to explore the personal impact of the industrial legacies within living memory.
This industriousness over generations both forged both the local infrastructure and character of the Black Country and the economy of the nation.
The project was organised by artist group Laundry, working with Sandwell Community and History Archives Service (CHAS) and Oldbury and Langley Local History Societies.
