I Vow To Thee Black Country.....Celebrate Black Country Day on 14th July with the new Black Country flag which is a tricolor of black, white and red as The Black Country was: 'Black by Day, and Red by Night' as the soot and smoke settled on The Black Country by day and the furnaces and foundries lit up the sky by night.....the flag also features a glass cone to celebrate the glass-making heritage of the Stourbridge area of the Black Country and the chains made in The Black Country, with women's workers rights being won by the Women's Chain-makers' strike in Cradley Heath in The Black Country of 1910......BOSTIN BLACK COUNTRY!!!!!!
