The (former) Smethwick Technical School
Built between 1908 and 1910 as the local Technical School, under the asupices of the council architect Frederick J Gill. Described as an "Edwardian Baroque style technical school...that survives mostly unaltered with prominent façade, richly ornamented marble hall and well-list classrooms", it was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101391125-smethwick-technical-school-soho-and-victoria-ward#.XRMZiuhKhPY & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1391125 in 2004.

Schools in Crocketts Lane.
When I attended school this whole stretch of Crocketts Lane was a series of schools. From right to left they were Chances Tech', the junior school (8 to 11 year olds)& James Watt Tech (12 to 16 year olds). The building with the 'spire' was the junior school until approx' 1957 but later became James Watt Annexe. James Watt proper has since been demolished as too has St Michael's Church which stood alongside. Behind the 'Annexe' was (& still is as far as I know) the Infant School. I now believe that most of the buildings are part of the local Technical College.

Victoria Park
This is Smethwick's main public park, developed on former farmland, and extending to about 34 acres. It opened in 1889, and was named Victoria Park to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, which had been celebrated in 1887. In recent years a lot of money has been spent in regenerating it, and today it is a very pleasant place to visit.
