Although quite short, this is an interesting guide to Stourbridge at the end of the 19th century. It contains many photographs of the town. About half of it is dedicated to detailed descriptions of leading local companies, again illustrated with many photographs. If you can find a reference by using the text search facility, then this guide could provide some valuable information. Kindly loaned to the project by Stourbridge library.

Two fascinating volumes covering local companies in the Black Country. Some history of each company is included, together with a description of production processes, illustrated with numerous photographs. Quite short, but of great interest if it covers a company you are researching - see list of contents to find out. Kindly loaned to the project by Stourbridge Library.
