FOLLOWING the success of the first two editions of the local history magazine Feckenham Forester, which required several reprints to meet demand, the 2016 issue is now available.
The 2016 issue contains new articles on the history of the Redditch, Inkberrow, Feckenham, Hanbury area and surrounding villages in east Worcestershire (the ancient Feckenham Forest area) from Tudor times to the 20th century. Items include fascinating field-names, a railway carriage home on the Ridgeway, and (gulp) the tragic tale of a Redditch newspaper editor.
It may be purchased (price £3.50) from Feckenham Forest History Society meetings or from ASAP Printing, Webheath PO; Crabbs Cross PO; Hancox Store, Astwood Bank; Forge Shop, Inkberrow; Village Shop, Feckenham, or Nonnykettle Books at the Alcester and District Local History Society meetings.
