| Description |
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 <a href="http://www.bclm.co.uk/map4.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Cast Iron Houses</a>. Built in 1925 and listed as buildings of architectural and historical interest this pair of semi-detached council houses were built as part of a major housing development in Dudley. Due to a shortage of traditional building materials a variety of innovative construction methods were tried at this time and about 500 cast iron houses were produced across the country. In Dudley only two pairs were built as they proved to be twice as expensive as the brick equivalent although they made use of readily available foundry capacity and could be built with relatively unskilled labour. One of the houses is fitted out as it would have been when built and the second unit houses an exhibition on the production and use of cast iron. |
