A Random collection of old pictures and postcards from around the Kingswinford area.
I think this is a picture of Oldswinford Sunday School c1910? The plaque the children are holding is almost completely faded.
This is a distant view of St. Marks, Pensnett, note misspelling of Pensnett.
A foundation stone was laid in 1844 and the church opened in 1849. The stone was from the Gornal quarries.
