| 説明 | 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.This is the Builder's Yard.This display represents a traditional small builder’s merchants yard of the mid-1920s comprising a brick office, a stone hovel and an open yard.The stone cutter’s hovel originally stood at the entrance to Bilston Quarry, Wolverhampton.Black Country people were loath to waste anything and this characteristic is reflected in the number of reclaimed items displayed for sale which have been salvaged from previous jobs.There were very few large building contractors in the 1920s and the bulk of building materials were still supplied by small merchants such as this.The shelves of the office are stacked with valuable items like brass pipe fittings but sacks of cement, lime and plaster and cast iron pipes are stored in the hovel.Small merchants stocked a little of everything and the yard is crowded with a variety of traditional building materials such as slates, copingstones, bricks and sanitary ware.This is a small builder's yard of the 1920s. The stone 'hovel' was originally part of a yard on Millfield Road, Bilston, and may have been used for stone working. The brick office is a replica of the one that was next to the hovel. Many of the goods sold at yards like this - the builders hardware , the bricks and the lime - would have come from the Black Country.Varios bricks and tiles for building material uses.View of the beginning of the canal village, the canal bridge and shops.You can see the Sweet Shop from here. We sat and had our lunch on the wall outside that sweet shop. |
