Gospel Blue Ribbon Mission church
Located on the junction of Taylor's Lane and St Clement's Lane, this was formerly known as Grant Hall, and has been occupied by the Mission Church since the late 1960s. The name is taken from a combination of the Gospel Temperance Movement and the Blue Ribbon Army, who held a four-week long mission in West Brom in 1882.

Site of a former OS benchmark - Hallam Street
A one-time OS cutmark existed on this brick pillar, but must have been removed at some time when the wall was repaired, and has been 'replaced' by this rather poor representation.

The Lyne Purl Well
The Lyne Purl Well is situated in a recessed front garden in Stoney Lane. From time immemorial, it was a source of water for the earliest inhabitants of West Bromwich. It was described as "a hollow tree trunk lining a well of soft water".
It is documented in 1606, when the Manor court forbid the washing of “filthy clothes or beasties bellies”. The spring still runs underneath, but is now capped. It bears a lions head and stone inscription which read "Presented by Alderman J.J.Grant J.P. to the town of West Bromwich May 1956"

Dartmouth Park
Dartmouth Park was first opened to the public in 1878 following a request to the 5th Earl of Dartmouth to lease land from the Dartmouth Estate in order to provide West Bromwich with a park. It has been an important part of the life of the area ever since but declined in the latter part of the 20th century, not least because a new road divided the park from the town centre. However, it has since been restored to something of its former glory using heritage lottery funding.
