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"
