I was a very accomplished Boy Scout in my youth, achieving Eagle Scout at one of the earliest possible ages in the program, and I had so many merit badges that I needed two sashes to hold them all. But these are not my greatest Scouting accomplishments. ..
For me, my greatest accomplishment in Scouting is what I learned and still use to this day- and this handbook was my Bible as a kid. There is SO much information in here, and I still remember reading it over and over when I was young.
Opening it up today, I was instantly transformed back to my youth, sitting up late at night learning things I never thought I would use- but in fact I do use to this very day.

Pure Imagination - Competition No 10 - "From the Pages of a Book"

As many of you will have guessed I do have a bit of a 'thing' for the official guides and handbooks that were issued by the vast majority of British local authorities during the Twentieth Century. These publications were used to extol the virtues of the town or city concerned both to existing residents, keen to know more about their home town, but also designed to inform and potentially lure newcomers and new industries. This one for the then County Borough of Wolverhampton, in Staffordshire, is very much aimed at the latter market.
Whereas seaside towns and resorts often used the front cover as an immediate visual 'lure' such a scene for an industrial town, such as Wolverhampton, was usually a little more tricky and the default was usually the borough's coat of arms. But this 1934 cover is superlative in terms of design and execution; a rich glimpse of the life and industry of this Midland Town. Loosely based on Queens Square by night, with its four bracketed street light, it crams in not only various of Wolverhampton's important buildings but some of the products of the town. The locally built symbol of municipal modernity, the Sunbeam or Guy trolleybus advertising locally manufactured Goodyear tyres, the same products that carry the luxurious Sunbeam motor car we see. The glamorous couple buying their copy of the still produced local paper, the Express & Star, as they head to the Queens Picture House. And my money is on the fact that the child waiting for the 2A 'bus will be wearing a rayon garment made in the town by Courtuald's.
It is one of the best industrial town guides I have seen. Produced by "B&T" (whom I should know) the guide was issued by an effective arm of the Borough council, the Industrial Development Association. In the 1930s the town did remarkably well in establishing 'new' industries, such as rayon, rubber and electrical equipment, so as to help balance out an historic reliance on traditional metal based industries.
Dark hallways, creaking floor boards... wind blowing through cracks which sounds like whispering voices. These walls are your eternal boundaries and this window your only view. Confused? Its all in your welcome package; Handbook for the Recently Deceased.
A rather fine handbook that details "a summary of the principal resorts served by the White Funnel fleet in the Bristol and English Channels". P. & A. Campbell had origins in the bustling steamer trade of the Firth of Clyde in the late Nineteenth Century and indeed two of their steamers sold to the Caledonian Railway in 1888 and that helped form the nucleus of the Caledonian Steam Packet Company.
The founder's sons decided to relocate the business to Bristol and the White Funnel Line was formed in 1893. By the time of this handbook a fleet of eleven vessels are shown, all paddle steamers; P.S. Britannia, P.S. Cambria, P.S. Devonia, P.S. Waverley, P.S. Glen Gower, P.S. Brighton Queen, P.S. Glen Avon, P.S. Glen Usk, P.S. Westward Ho, P.S. Ravenwood and the P.S. Brighton Belle. As can be gathered from the names the vessels sailed extensively in the waters of the Bristol Channel, to resorts in South Wales and then around Lands End and along the English South Coast, including the Isle of Wight, and as far as Sussex.
The unattributed cover shows some of the dapper clientele enjoying the ocean breeze. Unusually for such a publication the name of the publishing company, Burrow's, is not particularly advertised.
