Details of talks given by Andy Sloane
I’m the founder and chair of The Museum of Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire and have spent many years researching and sharing the fascinating history of our region. I was previously a member of The Wolverhampton Society, and my main areas of research include Jewish history in Wolverhampton, healthcare and mental healthcare in the Black Country, and local workhouses, although I am always researching new topics.
I have a strong passion for local history, genealogy and true crime, and I enjoy bringing the past to life through the stories of real people and places. My talks are designed to be both informative, visually interesting and engaging, making history accessible and relevant to a wide variety of audiences.
I’m based in Wolverhampton and happy to travel across the Black Country, South Staffordshire, and neighbouring Shropshire to give talks. I bring my own laptop—so all I need is a projector and screen. As I work full-time for the NHS, I usually prefer evening talks, though I can do daytime sessions with enough notice.
