Pat Horton has supplied a number of photographs that will be deposited in Dudley Archives in early 2025. They are presented here in two collections.

​

• The Gipsies Tent collection are either old pictures of the pub of that name (owned by Pat's forbears), or pictures that used to hang in the pub, mainly of sports teams.

• The John Davies collections are of the Bean Factory and its products, where John worked a a motor mechanic.

​

Most of the photographs date from the late 19th and early 20th century and the quality is sometimes poor. Nonetheless they are of considerable historical interest.
