If you are fortunate enough to be living in Walsall, England or visiting that neck of the woods then you must pencil in a vist to the shoe exhibition called Goody Two Shoes to be held at the Walsall Museum. The exhibition features 49 classic, popular and unusual designs from the past and present, covering over 220 years of footwear history. From killer stilettos to kitten heels, flat pumps to sling backs, shoes of all shapes and sizes are on show in a new exhibition. The fancy array of footwear has been gathered from the museum’s permanent collection, as well as pairs from Walsall’s famous Hodson Shop Collection of working women’s clothing from the mid 20th century. The Hodson Shop Collection, which comprises thousands of pieces of clothing bequeathed to the borough by Edith and Flora Hodson, who ran a general store and drapery in the front of The Locksmith’s House, in New Road, Willenhall. Goody Two Shoes is on display at Walsall Museum, in Lichfield Street, in the library complex until February 28.

...fortunate enough to be living in Walsall....

Trust me, I worked there for years; the Toeslayer tongue is very firmly in the Toeslayer cheek. However, I am sure that the exhibition is interesting, and if you are there overnight be sure and have dinner at the nearby Mad O'Rourke's Pie Factory. Alas, the cow pies are too much for me, but a nice mixed grill served on a shovel (yes, that is NOT a typo) might go down well.

Oh, an theey doh arf tork funny rund thur an'all.

Ah Bill,

I too add my Good Food Guide 5 * to this establishment.

I will never forget Roberts face when his 'Micks Grill' arrived on said shovel.

The veggie cow pie (+ pastry horns) was to die for.

Thanks Bill for introducing the Tamworth crew to proper food, A' La Brum.

I would also recommend the Travel Lodge seranade by Mr Liggins & Sam

I listen to Classic FM daily hoping you may have joined forces with Sam & released a single.

Again, many thanks.
