A heritage trail to celebrate historical sites in Princes End is set to launch later this month (February).
Tipton Town Libraries Local History Group has worked with library staff and Tipton deputy town lead Councillor Bill Cherrington.
The trail will show former industrial and heritage sites, including Gospel Oak Ironworks, Seedhouse Brewery and Boulton and Watt’s first steam engine.
Councillor Cherrington said: “The trail will highlight the industrial significance Princes End made and encourage people to get involved in local history activities and be proud of the area.”
A special history day will be held at Glebefields Library from 10.30am to 1pm on Saturday 24 February to launch the trail, along with a series of guided walks.
The history group meets monthly at Great Bridge Library. For more details, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call Robert on 0121 557 1796.
