West Bromwich is a town in Sandwell, West Midlands, England. Historically part of Staffordshire, West Bromwich is located to the northwest of Birmingham. West Bromwich County Borough was expanded in 1966 to include the bulk of Tipton and Wednesbury, while a small part of the south-eastern section of the town was absorbed into the new Warley County Borough which was centered on neighbouring Oldbury, Smethwick and Rowley Regis. The actual town boundaries of West Bromwich were also altered at this time, placing the Friar Park estate in Wednesbury, while the Hateley Heath area of Wednesbury was now within the borders of West Bromwich township.
West Bromwich's road links were further enhanced in 1995 on the completion of the Black Country Spine Road which also by-passes Wednesbury and the east of Bilston. The completion of this new road opened up several square miles of previously inaccessible land, and has allowed several major businesses to set up along the route. This has helped relieve some of the unemployment problems in West Bromwich, although most parts of the town still have the highest unemployment rates in the West Midlands.
The town is famous for its football club, West Bromwich Albion. The club was founded in 1878 and in 1888 it became one of the twelve founder members of the Football League. It won the league championship in 1920 and has won the FA Cup five times, most recently in 1968. The club were Football League Champions in 2008, winning automatic promotion to the Premier League. Albion were based in and around the centre of West Bromwich during their formative years, but moved further out of the town in 1900 when they switched to their current ground, The Hawthorns. The Hawthorns is the highest football ground (above sea level) in the country.
West Bromwich Town Hall, situated in the centre of the High Street, is a Grade II listed building. It was built between 1874 and 1875 in brick and stone to an Italian Gothic design, and its interior reflects the Victorian interest in Gothic and Medieval architecture. West Bromwich Manor House, Hall Green Road B71 2EA. Built by the de Marnham family in the late 13th century as the centre of their agricultural estate in West Bromwich only the Great Hall survives of the original complex of living quarters, agricultural barns, sheds and ponds.
West Bromwich is a culturally diverse area with many places of worship for several different religions. The Church of England provides the most places of worship across the geographically wider West Bromwich Deanery (taking in West Bromwich, Hill Top, Stone Cross, Carter's Green, Holy Trinity, All Saint's, St Andrew's, St Francis, Friar Park and others) which contains nine Anglican churches. West Bromwich has three main mosques, two on Dartmouth Street. The Main mosque of West Bromwich is the Jami Masjid and Islamic Centre based at 67 Dartmouth Street which currently is being reconstructed to accommodate hundreds of people.
For roads, the M5 motorway between the West Midlands and the West Country and its junction with the M6 motorway passes through the town, making West Bromwich at the hub of Britain's motorway network. West Bromwich railway station was opened by the Great Western Railway on its route between Birmingham Snow Hill and Wolverhampton Low Level on 14 November 1854.

►They were the footballing trio who as well as scoring countless goals on the pitch, also helped to break down barriers to black people taking part in the sport.
Known as the Three Degrees, Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson played for West Brom in the 1970s - the first time a top club had regularly fielded three black players.
And today, flanked by former team mates and family members, a statue of them was unveiled in the city.

North Grafton Shopping Centre Access, New Square
This is a useful and hardly known access along the north side of the Grafton Centre, if a bit slow. Route in Cambridge Video Clip Cycling Guide, as described at
This is a useful and hardly known access along the north side of the Grafton Centre, if a bit slow. Use the car park entrance and then skirt into the exit lane. This is completely fine, if you read the small print on the sign, and you'll spot the cycle access in a second or so.
Cutting through to the back accesses will leave you jumping around parked cars and people walking so it's advisable to go slowly. Notice all the painted roadway, but few signs, its one reason this isn't easy to find.
Towards the end of the accesses, a parked flatbed van almost blocks the route. I suspect this may happen quite a bit as people tend to miss cycle access.
Then coming round to the front of the Grafton Centre, and down to Emmanuel Street very quickly.

Blissful Balloons Meet Cyril Regis
Video of the wonderful Balloon release we were booked to provide for the official opening of New Square in West Bromwich in the West Midlands Black Country. A beautiful day peaking 32 degrees and a great turn out with press, local Mayor and councillor and the lovely Cyril Regis who helped me to release the balloons after the crowd did a very enthusiastic countdown.
