More about Walsall West Midlands in the Black Country
Walsall is an industrial town in the West Midlands of
England. It is located northwest of Birmingham and east
of Wolverhampton. Walsall is a part of the West Midlands
conurbation and a part of the Black Country.
Walsall is the administrative headquarters of the
Walsall Metropolitan Borough. In the 2001 census, the
town had a population of 170,994 with the surrounding
borough having a population of 252,800. Neighbouring
towns in the borough include Willenhall, Bloxwich and
Aldridge.
The name Walsall is thought to have derived from the
words "Walh halh", meaning "valley of the foreigners"
(referring to the Celts). By the first part of the 13th
century, Walsall was a small market town, with the
weekly market being introduced in 1220. The Mayor of
Walsall was created as a political position in the 14th
century. Walsall is known as "the town of a thousand
trades".
Queen Mary's Grammar School was founded by Mary I of
England in 1554, and the school carries the queen's
personal badge as its emblem; the Tudor Rose and the
sheaf of arrows of Catherine of Aragon tied with a
Staffordshire knot.
The industrial revolution changed Walsall from a village
of 2,000 people in the 16th century to a town of over
86,000 in approximately 200 years. It is a local story,
although perhaps not accurate, that Walsall declined a
railway line, which was later given to Birmingham, now
England's second city. Walsall finally received a
railway line in 1847, 48 years after canals reached the
town.
Walsall has had many industries, from coal mining to
metal working, but in the late 19th century the coal
mines ran dry, and Walsall became internationally famous
for the leather trade. Walsall still manufactures the
Queen's handbags, and Walsall leather products have been
found as far afield as Italy, which prompted some
embarrassment when a husband gave one to his wife as a
present after a business trip, when she realised she
immediately assumed that the handbag had been bought
when the husband returned. Walsall is the traditional
home of the English saddle manufacture industry, thus
the nickname of Walsall FC: The Saddlers. Apart from
leather goods, other industries in Walsall include iron
and brass founding, limestone quarrying, small hardware,
plastics, electronics, chemicals, and aircraft parts.
The Walsall Memorial Gardens and Arboretum opened in
1952 and holds the second biggest Illuminations in the
country. They used to purchase their lights second hand
from Blackpool, but over they years they have been
increasingly made 'in house' - indeed they all are now,
and it has been said that Blackpool is no longer willing
to sell lights to Walsall as it is too much of a
competitor.
The New Art Gallery Walsall opened in the year 2000. It
contains a large number of works by Jacob Epstein as
well as works by Van Gogh, Monet, Turner, Renoir and
Constable.
Near to the Art Gallery and St Pauls Bus Station,
Walsall's College of Arts and Technology can be found.
The Town is also the home to one of the University of
Wolverhampton's Halls of residence accomodating students
studying teaching and sports related subjects.
Walsall is also famous for its relationship to John
Wesley and Francis Asbury who began the Methodist
movement in the United States. The latter was born in
Handsworth, Birmingham and lived for a large part of his
life close to the Sandwell/Walsall border.
Walsall Leather Museum documents the towns leather
industry.
Walsall's football club, Walsall F.C., The Saddlers, was
founded in 1888 when Walsall Town F.C. and Walsall
Swifts F.C. merged. They won their first game against
Aston Villa F.C.. The club currently play in Football
League One and for the next season will be playing in
League 2, and are temporarily coached by former Irish
international and West Bromwich Albion player Mark
Kinsella.
Pork scratchings are the most famous local snack.
A local landmark is Barr Beacon, which is reportedly the
highest point following its lattitude Eastwards until
the Ural Mountains of Russia.
