Bringing Langer’s Army & Navy Stores back to life at Black Country Living Museum

[@jaegarfiftyeight8048]

Absolutely brilliant! What a great idea. As kids we were always in and out of surplus shops for bits of military paraphernalia. I found Langer’s surplus shop in Stourbridge when I first came to the West Midlands, back end of the 1980s and I was still a serving soldier. It was the go-to store for all manner of kit whether to supplement your service issue or for camping/hiking items. What’s also great is that Herbet’s son Steve has continued the tradition with his store in Kidderminster and on-line. I’m looking forward to visiting the Black Country Museum store at some point in the future. 🙂

Thank you! It was a very popular shop, so we're proud to recreate it. Steve's support has been invaluable. Let us know what you made of it after you visit!
