100 years ago September 9, 1905
A SERIOUS trap accident occurred when boy Thomas Barley was driving a pony and a fishmonger's cart down New Road when the animals shied at a steamroller that was at work on the road. The pony bolted down the hill towards High Street. In its course it collided with a handcart and was thrown down and the boy pitched out.

The pony was without any injuries, but the boy sustained a compound fracture to his leg. more...

25 years ago September 5, 1980
BROMSGROVE was given a top priority rating for a five figure Sports Council grant towards the new community sports centre under consideration. District councillors were expected to be told that a 50 per cent grant would be available for the building, expected to cost more than £100,000. Neville Lewis, senior regional officer for the Sports Council, told the amenities committee that Bromsgrove was in need of sport facilities. The idea of the sports hall was that the public could use it without having to join a club or become a member of an organisation. A typical sports hall could include a tennis court, five badminton courts and various other facilities with eight staff to man it. Mr Lewis said the wages of the eight staff would come to at least £25,000 a year. more...
