WE WANT YOUR STORIES!

From the Blackwood Hotel:

Blackwood Historical Society will be paying us a visit on LOCALS NIGHT the 9th June. We will have historian Margot Hitchcock providing a small talk and you'll all be invited to view the photos on the walls and ask questions.

These were supplied by Margot Hitchcock and the Blackwood & District Historical Society so it's certainly your chance to ask who was who!

We would love some locals past or present to provide your stories and experiences of the hotel over the years! Let us know if you would like to share anything like this with us on the night!
