Situated at the highest point of the City of London, the current St Paul`s is the fifth church to be built on this site. It is one of the few cathedrals to have been designed and completed during the lifetime of a single individual, the gifted Sir Christopher Wren. Construction lasted for 35 years and spread over the reigns of six monarchs.

Tipton From the Air.

An illustrated talk by Keith Hodgkins.

Using archive photographs from the 1920s to the 1960s we will take a journey through space and time to look down on Tipton`s old industrial landscape of canals, railways, gasworks, factories and foundries, most of which has disappeared well before the end of the 20th century.
