Historic film to be shown in run up to the Women Chainmakers' Festival
IN the run up to Cradley Heath’s popular Women Chainmakers’ Festival this weekend, Old Hill Primary School is set to host a special event.
Nothing To Lose – a 1970s film which includes historic archive interviews with women in the chainmaking industry – will be shown from 4.30pm tomorrow (Tuesday, June 27).
The film also shows footage of women, who at a very young age, took part in the ground-breaking strike of 1910.
Being run by the Friends of the Women Chainmakers’ group, the free event will also feature a talk from special guest Sarah Boston – the director of the film.
