This article appears in Volume V28, Page 536 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEST BROMWICH , a market town and municipal, county and parliamentary borough of Staffordshire, England, 6 in. N.W. of Birmingham, on the northern line of the Great Western railway. Pop. (1891) 59,538, (1901) 65,175. The appearance of the town, like its growth as an industrial centre of the Black Country, is modern. It is, however, of ancient origin; thus the church of All-Saints, formerly St Clement, was given by Henry I. to the convent of Worcester, from which it passed to the priors of Sandwell, who rebuilt it in the Decorated period, the present structure (1872) following their plan. The
chief
  public buildings are the town
hall
  (1875), the Institute (1886), providing instruction in science and art, under the
corporation
  since 1894, the free library (1894) and law-courts (1891). The picturesque Oak
House
 , of the 16th century, was opened as a museum and art gallery in 1898. Among schools is one for pauper children in which engineering, baking, spade-husbandry, &c., are taught. Sandwell
Hall
 , formerly a seat of the earls of Dartmouth, contains a school for daughters of clergymen, &c. The
house
 ,
standing
  in pleasant wooded grounds, is on the site of the
Benedictine
  priory of Sandwell, founded in the time of Henry II. There are charities founded by the families of Stanley and Whorwood (1613 and 1614). Dartmouth Park is a recreation ground of about 6o acres; others are Farley, Kenwick and Hill Top Park. Numerous mines
work
  the extensive coalfields, which include a thirty-foot seam. There are large iron and brass foundries and smelting furnaces, and malting and brickmaking are carried on. The parliamentary borough returns one member. The town is governed by a mayor 6 aldermen and 18 councillors. Area, 586o acres.
