Full description from the producer:

This superb DVD combines remarkable old film of the town from the 1920’s to the 1950’s and a selection of wonderful old photographs with the archives of the Kidderminster Shuttle to paint a fascinating picture of life in Kidderminster in times gone by. The first Shuttle was published in 1870 and the news, the gossip, the adverts, the letters and the opinions reflected in its pages over the last 140 years bring to life the Kidderminster of old and show just how much things have changed. The impact of two world wars, good times and bad, controversy, tragedy, celebrations and landmarks in the towns history have all been documented by the Messenger and captured on film and this priceless archive of local life gives us a unique opportunity to look back at the way we were.
