I have loads of books of the Black Country, it's railway's and canals, even a recipe book of Black Country food.
I also have a lot of old ordnance survey books of the are.
I never thought Smethwick a part of the Black Country, more Birmingham.
No coal mines in Smethwick.
Like Wolverhampton, Smethwick is a manufacturing town that sits on the fringe of the Black Country proper.
