Wedding Exhibition at Priory Hall

When I went for a walk in the park this morning (15 March) I wasn't aware of the exhibition at the Hall, so it came as a surprise to see all the cars and other activity going on there. The weather was excellent for the event as well.

RIP Pepper, 1999-2014

Pepper was a regular member of the Wednesday Walking Group on the park until very recently, and will be much missed by everyone.

Priory Park Through Time

Come and take a look at the historic artwork and photographs of the park showing how it has changed since the 1150s when the Priory of St James was built, through to the park we see today.

Crocus Glade

The magnificent display of crocuses (croci ?) in the Glade never ceases to amaze every visitor to the Park and invites numerous photographers to capture the essence of the display.The problem year on year is to come up with a new take, but last years renovations, including new gates to the Broadway entrance, offers distinct possibilities.

Ghost Busters!

Are there ghosts in Priory Hall? There are stories of ghosts in the Castle, and perhaps even the Priory, but I've never heard of any in the Hall. I was walking back home when I unexpectedly encountered this scene, which was being shot by the press to promote wedding services and the Hall as a location for wedding ceremonies. My thanks to those involved for allowing me to gate-crash. Alan Finch, the current mayor of Dudley, is also the local councillor, and he works tirelessly for Dudley and the area, and he was Chairman of FoPP before he became mayor, so particular thanks to him for all the good work he has done, and continues to do on our behalf. In the background is the A-Team van.
