Halesowen, a historic town, holds a rich tapestry of stories woven by the monks of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Hales. While much has been penned about its medieval heritage and the enchanting landscape gardens created by William Shenstone at the Leasowes, this comprehensive history delves into the town's industrial evolution, encompassing the participation of people from all walks of life in the production and utilization of iron. In addition to providing a detailed account of the churches and schools that catered to the growing population, the author also traces the lineage of each shop and public house along the bustling main streets, adorned with captivating elevations meticulously prepared by the renowned local artist, Bill Hazlehurst. These illustrations offer a delightful glimpse into the town's architectural diversity, showcasing the charming mix of building styles that once defined its character before the transformative redevelopment in the 1960s. This book makes a substantial contribution to the published history of Worcestershire and the Black Country, offering a captivating narrative accompanied by stunning illustrations that make it an enjoyable and visually enriching read for both younger readers and recent inhabitants.
