A great film, a classic murder mystery whodunnit. Starring Tim Curry, a totally hilarious film with so many cliches and gags, dvd has three different endings. The film is based upon the board game Cluedo, in america its known as Clue, hence the film name.
Cache site is a local landmark.The place-name Brierley Hill consists of three words of Anglo-Saxon origin. Brer meaning the place where the Briar Rose grew, leah meaning a woodland clearing and Hill meaning – what it does today.
By the turn of the century Brierley Hill was growing. Ribbon development had occurred all along the lanes that surrounded the hill, collieries, quarries (Quarry Bank) glass works, and iron works filled the spaces between the dwelling houses and woods. In Fowlers Map of 1822 the settlement of Brierley Hill had extended to the canal except for a small piece of Level Coppice. A rash of collieries and iron works had opened up alongside the canal. A timber compound of Lord Dudley’s replaced the northern part of Level Wood, east of the canal. This in turn became the Old Level Ironworks. The New Level Works was added on the other side of Level Road and the whole complex eventually became the Round Oak Steel Works.
The mining subsidence, open shafts, cinder tips, heaps of slag and waves of black smoke made the hill a very unappetising place to live on, so much so that a rhyme was composed comparing it with Hell.
When Satan stood on Brierley Hill
And far around it gazed
He said, ‘I never more shall feel
At Hell’s fierce flames amazed.”
