About the trust...
The Trust has its own Heritage Centre, the former Lodge situated in Victoria Park, where numerous pieces of memorabilia are housed and displayed.
This gives us the chance to see and remember Smethwick as it once was and generate a renewed interest in seeing the town not just as part of Sandwell, nor part of the Black Country or Birmingham but standing alone and looking forward to a better future stemming from a rich tapestry of history.
On display
There are items on display from many of the famous old Smethwick companies including Ruskin Pottery, Chance’s, M &B and Scribbans – to name a few. There are also sections on Smethwick Schools, Smethwick at War and those companies still going today such as East End Foods. |
