When lab team member @davefused dreamed up Dudley People’s Archive we had no idea it would end up being launched and growing online, through 18 months of a pandemic. We’re delighted that an exhibition of archive images will be curated on Dudley High St. We hope you can visit.

The Black Country dialect has given many comedians the tools to perform some great jokes and sketches and here @DavethePitt of Poets, Prattlers and Pandemonialists finds out more. https://t.co/s5VmekKugl

So we've found out where the Black Country actually is. We know who the key comedians are, but what is it that makes them so funny? Is it dialect, is is sounding 'saft', or it down to the 'Black Humour' and 'Self depreciation' style? https://t.co/txoVZWERhS

Where IS the Black Country? It's an important question and one that you can ask a million people, and if you do, you will get a million different answers. BUT non of them will be Birmingham! @DavethePitt founds out more. https://t.co/F5ZAXPrkcm
