Walsall is a town on the change, re-inventing itself. Not only do we have a world famous art gallery and bus station, an arboretum (or big park) , countless new pubs and clubs, a variety of cuisines from around the world but also possibly the country's friendliest people

Some people only know Walsall as the site of Europe's most congested stretch of motorway or possibly the home of the country's second biggest Illuminations. Others may have noticed Walsall FC heroically avoiding relegation from the first division last season.
While all these things are important, Walsall has a lot more to offer to tourists, shoppers, businessmen and yes, even tramps who arrive, either intentionally or unwittingly in our town.

Of course, you can always get a good idea about a place by looking at stories in the local press
