Black Country Living Museum and Walsall Football Club are proud to announce a new partnership that celebrates the shared identity, history, and community spirit of the Black Country.

A lovingly restored Black Country-built scooter has been acquired by the national award-winning Black Country Living Museum (BCLM), helping to keep a little-known story of automotive history alive. The Museum, which was recently crowned Large Visitor Attraction of the Year by the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence, has recently expanded its storytelling up to the 1960s, making this another perfect addition to its transport collection. The acquisition, a “DKR Capella De-Luxe”, was a locally built machine that was relatively affordable, reliable and convenient to use.

Wednesfield FC, a proud community football club founded in 1961, is set to honour its roots and break new ground through a unique sponsorship agreement with the Black Country Living Museum (BCLM).
