This is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.
The museum was established in 1975, and the first buildings moved here in 1976. Since then a 26 acre site has been developed, with the unique conditions of living and working in the Black Country from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.
It is off Tipton Road in Dudley.
Path to the right to Dudley Canal Trust Boat Trips
We never got to go down there as we decided to head through the last section of the village, then went around the Canal Arm instead.
Area on the left is a Work in Progress.
Up here is the Animal Trap Works.
The Trap Shop
Sidebotham’s Trap Works, originally constructed in Wednesfield, near Wolverhampton in 1913, is a typical example of a small purpose built factory of the period.
Wednesfield was a major centre for the manufacture and worldwide export of small animal traps. The stencils hanging from the Belfast Truss roof were used to label the packing cases with destinations of ports in Australia, Africa, South America and many other far-flung destinations.
The stamping, pressing and punching machines are driven by lineshafting from a single cylinder gas engine of 1906, built by Tangye’s of Smethwick.
The forge hearth was used to make the springs which operated the traps and parts were assembled on benches using the hand-operated fly presses, before being painted or ‘blacked’ in tanks by the canalside wall and packed for delivery.

04.20.2009: Silly Lily!
Image by bookgrl
She somehow managed to get her collar around her waist. (Do cats have waists? Her torso then.) When I came home from work she backed away from me and I couldn't figure out why - turns out she just couldn't stand up properly! You know how cats are when you tie a sock around their middles, right? (You don't? What?) Anyway, after I stopped laughing and taking photos of her I helped her out of the collar. I'm such a good kitty mama.
