About Walsall - show infohide info
Walsall is an industrial town in the West Midlands. It is part of the West Midlands conurbation, and lies in the Black Country. Walsall has a population of 178,600, with a total of 250,000 in the surrounding borough. The name Walsall is thought to date from Celtic times, when it was named 'Walh Halh', meaning 'Valley of the Foreigners'. A weekly market was introduced in 1220, and Walsall grew as trades sprang up; the town becoming known even then as 'the town of a thousand trades'. The industrial revolution changed Walsall, as the towns population swelled from 2,000 in the 16th century, to a town of over 86,000 in only 200 years. In 1847, Walsall received a railway line, helping the town expand further as goods and passengers could be transported much easier; previously, Walsall had relied on canals which had been in place for an extra 48 years. The economy of Walsall is traditionally made up from a number of industries, from coal mining to metalworking, but in the late 19th century the coal mine dried up, and a Walsall changed direction to the leather trade. Thus Walsall leather handbags can be found across the world; HM Queen Elizabeth II has her handbags made in Walsall. The leather industry also makes saddles, which has leant the nickname 'The Sadders' to Walsall FC. Other industries in Walsall include iron and brass founding, small hardware, plastics and some aircraft part manufacture. Attractions in the town include the Walsall leather museum and the Walsall Art Gallery, which was rebuilt in 2000 after closure in the 1990's. The Walsall Memorial Gardens and Arboretum holds the second biggest illuminations display in the UK, purchasing second hand lights from Blackpool.
