About Bromsgrove - show infohide info
Bromsgrove is a town in North West Worcestershire, part of the West Midlands. The name of Bromsgrove is said to derive from either the Old English Brommsgraf, meaning a small wood frequented by highway robbers, or from Bremesgrave as mentioned in the Domesday Book. Breme may have been a famous person and grave is a fortified clearing. Initially, Bromsgrove main trade was with wool. However this had declined by the 17th century, around the time that nail making was introduced by the French Huguenots. Bromsgrove thrived, and was for a time the world centre for nail making. It was a hard trade and it took tough people to survive the poor pay and long hours. Except for those too young or old, the whole family worked at the forge all day. Both working and living conditions were cramped, living in one up one down nail makers cottages with an outbuilding in the garden that housed the forge. Most cottages had but one window that faced north to preserve the heat, and also the one entrance door. The workers of Bromsgrove occasionally rebelled, and had to be disbanded. The workerâs weapon of defence was the Tis-Was, causing the saying âall in a tis-wasâ?. The spiked Tis-Was was thrown under horsesâ hooves to harm both horse and rider. Mechanisation however, also forced this industry into decline. More recently, Bromsgrove has also seen the closure of the MG Rover plant in 2005. It had been an employer for many of Bromsgroveâs residents. The areaâs population however, continues to grow due to its new role as a dormitory town for Birmingham. It has good links to the A38, M5 and M42 motorways making it well located for commuters. A chip shop in which Lord Lucan was rumoured to have hidden during the late 1970s has since been demolished.
