Heartland Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) The Made in Oldbury site, regarding the John Cleare images- there is an atmospheric view taken in 1964, whose caption might need to be reconsidered. This is one said to be looking towards Langley Maltings, but explanation of the brickwork in the foreground might be useful, as does kiln structures at said Maltings. This is a view apparently taken near the Engine House looking towards the Maltings, with the Oldbury Railway course lost in the mist.
