Moving to West Bromwich?

West Bromwich was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, the name meaning “the little village on the heath of broom”. A Benedictine Priory was built there in the twelfth century and a settlement at Broomwich Heath sprang up around it. It continued to grow very slowly until the seventeenth century, when it became a posting stop on the road between London and Shrewsbury. The sudden influx of overnight visitors led to a boom in the town’s population, as people came to open inns, carriage repair shops and livery stables to serve them. The nineteenth century saw the discovery of vast seams of coal: this was the real turning point for West Bromwich. The town grew rapidly as an industrial centre, with industries such as spring, gun and nail making developing. This was assisted by the opening of a railway station on the Great Western Line. By the end of the century, West Bromwich had established itself as a prominent area to match older neighbouring towns including Dudley and Walsall.

For many natives of West Bromwich, the town’s defining year was 1878. This was when the West Bromwich Albion Football Club was set up. The team was instantly successful and in 1888 it became one of twelve founder clubs of the Football League. This was the first year that it won the FA Cup Final – an achievement it has repeated five times since then. In 1900 it moved to its current ground, The Hawthorns, which is the highest football ground in England and has a capacity of 26,500. It has only won the Football League once in its history, in 1920, but it was the first team to achieve the League and Cup double in 1954. The team was so celebrated that commentators suggested it should be chosen en masse to represent England in the World Cup. The 1980s and 1990s saw a downturn for the club, which got its worst results ever, so bad that it was relegated to the third tier when the FA Premier League was established, but it has soared back to the top recently and its matches are once again unmissable.

There are not many tourist attractions in West Bromwich, but if you are there you might want to visit the Town Hall, a Victorian building with a wonderful blend of Italian and Gothic styles and a huge stained glass window. The Public, designed by Will Alsop shaped like a giant black box with glass holes cut out, is a community arts centre. Locals compare it to “a shoebox with blobby windows” but if you can get past that you’ll find some exciting and innovative exhibitions, installations and performances. Charlemont has a number of pretty seventeenth and eighteenth century cottages. Bishop Ashbury Cottage was the boyhood home of Francis Asbury, the first Methodist Bishop in America, and is now a museum preserved in period décor with exhibitions on his life. All Saints Church was originally built in the twelfth century and still has a Norman tower, although the rest was rebuilt in 1778 after a fire.
