Ron Moss remembered
After his passing on 4 April 2019 the Black Country Bugle published a tribute to Ron and on 16 October 2021 the Black Country Society unveiled a plaque at Mushroom green chainshop in recognition of Ron's vision and dedicated involvement saving Mushroom Green Chainshop. Ron Moss, former chairman of the Industrial Archaeology Group of the Black Country Society supervised the opening of Mushroom Green Chainshop for 29 years on a monthly basis during the summer months arranging for Chainmakers Clarry Johnson and Mick Bradney to demonstrate their skill of making chain by hand. Many visitors attended these Sunday afternoon sessions as well as school children during the week as part of history lessons which Ron also liaised with local schools.

Ron was very involved in the restoration of the chainshop and the following is a summary of the book “Mushroom Green Chainshop” Ron wrote as part of the Black Country Society Studies in Industrial Archaeology series of books.
