Digging into Castle Brom's busy history

A TALK taking place next week promises to delve into the hidden history of Castle Bromwich.
The event will be hosted by local historian Bill Dargue and will be held at the Gunmakers Arms pub, in Birmingham city centre.
The talk will touch upon some of the most interesting places in the suburb, the history of which stretches back centuries.
Bill wrote: "Recent research shows that the site of Bromwich castle goes back rather further than its suspected Norman motte and bailey origins.
"A number of other buildings of interest also remain scattered along the Chester Road, which was the equivalent in the 18th century of the M6 motorway."
The event takes place on Tuesday (July 31) and will stat at 7pm. Tickets are £2 on the door or available for a slightly cheaper £1.66 here.
