THERE will be a talk on the history of Bewdley at the next meeting of the The Bromsgrove Society on Tuesday, December 1.

The talk is being organised through the society’s Local History Group, and will be given by Richard Perrin, who is a Bewdley resident, and is hoping to explore the importance of the River Severn in the development of the town as well as including some of the town's famous residents.

The talk will be taking place at Bromsgrove Methodist Centre from 7.45pm, and all are welcome to attend.
