WHEN the Duke of Edinburgh visited the region back in 1957 his visit with Her Majesty The Queen included a stop off in Hagley. On St George’s Day, April 23, Prince Philip accompanied his wife Queen Elizabeth II on a tour of the region which also included visits to Stourbridge, Brierley Hill, Dudley, Halesowen and Kidderminster. A report which was compiled by Don Freeth in June 2002, based on a paper read by Mrs D Nock to the Hagley Historical and Field Society on October 26 1965, said residents had worked hard to give Hagley Railway Station a makeover ahead of the Royal arrival by train.
