Interesting wall, Wednesbury
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 7 May 2011
The roadside boundary wall of St Paul's Church. It is composed of furnace slag and the coping stones are segments of old grinding stones. There was a link between a local industrialist and the church and it is thought this explains the unusual materials in the wall. An unexpected piece of industrial archaeology that one of my friends was justifiably keen to show me.
