Hi, I got interested too. Not to throw cold water on this search but the Wollaston Group have been searching the entire east coast for the past 6 months. Out of curiosity, I searched the net and came up with the following posting: The History of Wollaston (Group) HOW Message Board Guestbook Email Researching the History of Wollaston The History of Wollaston (Group) - HOW - was formed in September 1998 by local people with a shared interest in the history and development of their village. HOW meets twice a month, on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings, at 7.30pm in Stepalong Shoes at 151 Bridgnorth Road in Wollaston. All are welcome - why not come along and find out what we are getting up to, and where we are going in our research. HOW is currently working on the completion of material for its exhibition on the History of Wollaston, which will be held in Wollaston Church Hall every weekend in September 2000. The Hall will be open between 11.00-13.00 and 14.00-16.00. Members of HOW will be on hand to answer any questions and to note any comments or suggestions visitors may make. HOW is also working on the preparation of the first detailed history of Wollaston, which will be published around the end of the year 2000. The book will sell for £9.99, and there will be just 2,000 copies available, so if you are interested in reserving one early, contact us now! All of HOW's work to date has been greatly aided by the receipt of grants from both Dudley MBC and from the Millennium Awards for All scheme. Where's the Hall? A lot of HOW's efforts are being directed towards finding Wollaston Hall, the village's former Manor House, which was dismantled and sent to America in 1926. To date HOW have been able to establish the basic truth of this event, and may be on the track of some of the paneling and other items from inside the Hall - but where's the Hall itself? Can you help us with this? Wollaston Tennis Club? Any information and/or photographs concerning the Wollaston Tennis Club during the period 1930-50 would be greatly appreciated. Keep watching these pages as the history of Wollaston unfolds. Dr Paul Collins Chairman (HOW) This page has been visited times.
