The name West Bromwich is derived from the Olde English 'brom' (the broom brush) and 'wic' (a work-place). But why West Bromwich? This was to differentiate between the other local towns of Castle Bromwich and Little Bromwich. Chapters include: Beginnings, In which they serve, Events, At Work, At Play, On The Move and Around Town.
