Staffordshire / Besom Yard, Brook Street - Wolverhampton
« on: Tuesday 18 November 08 01:14 GMT (UK) »
Alot of my relatives resided in Brook Street in wolverhampton from around 1870's - 90's. It was known as the Besom yard, as they were gypsies and made Besoms.
It was just off Salop Street, but it got pulled down to make way for the ring road.
I found a booklet on the Besom yard, but it was about the people there in the 1920's.
Has anyone ever heard about or know anything about the Besom Yard, Brook Street. As it was supposed to be quite notorious, but i can never find anything on it.
Thanks
Gary
