About the website

Walsall A Click In Time is a collection of digital images created using original material from Walsall Local History Centre, the Archives Service and Local Studies Library for Walsall Metropolitan Borough.

This website enables users to view 3,000 images, dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, covering the whole of the current Metropolitan Borough area from Darlaston to Aldridge and Willenhall to Brownhills.

Users can also access a selection of 100 documents and 100 newspaper cuttings from our archives and local studies library relating to housing, work, education and leisure in Walsall during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This digitisation project was undertaken for a number of reasons:

•  To ensure our original material is preserved

•  To raise awareness and understanding of the material we hold

•  To provide better access to unknown or little used material

•  To create resources useful for learning and teaching

•  To make available part of our photographic and archive collections for users from all over the world to view via the Internet

Images on this website can be downloaded for personal use and photographic quality prints may be ordered online.
