The top tourist attraction on Tipton Road, Dudley, has been awarded £347,500 by the Heritage Lottery Fund to complete part of its Streets Ahead development. 

The money will be used to build a new vehicle display unit to showcase the museum’s vintage vehicle collection. The unit, which will be called Bradburn and Wedge, is due to be completed by January next year.
