History Society chairman Judy Davies looks at how national events have had an impact on our village history, the expansion of the village with the coming of the railway, and its continuing growth from then onwards. Her talk will be illustrated with slides of old Codsall. Tonight’s meeting will finish at the later time of 9.30pm as we will have an interval halfway through to serve festive mince pices, fizz and orange juice!
