The Earl of Dudley’s Railway, also known as The Pensnett Railway, was nearly 40 miles of track stretching in all directions from The Earl’s Iron Works (later a steel works) at Round Oak, just outside Brierley Hill.
Brierley Hill was one of those Black Country towns which was identified by the work that went on within its boundaries.

QUARRY BANK PAST & PRESENT is the second book produced by The History Press devoted to the recent history of this Black Country township. Two hundred and fifty pictures bring you a glimpse of the many diverse facets of life in Quarry Bank.
Today Netherton is hoping for an imaginative regeneration. What it offers is a land of surprises: ancient woodlands, water-skiing on a reservoir, home-brewed ales, churches, chapels, an art centre, canalside walks, a proud industrial past and ever-changing vistas.
Ned Williams provides a wealth of previously unpublished photographs of Netherton to provide a unique record of a Black Country community.
