00:00Hi, my name's Deb Slade, I'm from Walsall Creative Factory, which is just behind us
00:06here. We've been working for the last few weeks on making some lanterns
00:11for a lantern trail around the neighbourhood, which starts here at our
00:16Christmas fair and ends at Borneo Street Allotments on the 8th of December. The
00:24fair is 2 till 4, the trail starts at 4 and we end up at the Allotments, which
00:34ends at 7. So come and join us to see hundreds of lanterns. Some of
00:42the lanterns we've made are about local history stories, this one about somebody
00:48lived in Westbourne Road and we have Webster's seaplane. Sydney Webster was
00:55the fastest man alive in 1927 and where else are you going to see a replica of
01:01his plane depicted as a lantern?
