Commemorative plaque, Tipton
This orange plaque is on the works of The Angle Ring Co Ltd and celebrates an important event in the history of technology - Boulton & Watt's first commercial steam engine to drain a colliery. There is an earlier plaque on a nearby house and I suppose they are both 'near' the spot!

Roman Mosaic
The business was bought out of administration in 2004 by Tiles UK. In its heyday tiles were produced on this site but like other firms it became an importer and distributor. There was for many years a prominent advertising mosaic nearby at the 'Roman Mosaic' island on the Birmingham New Road.

It is now on a more modern house and was presumably affixed there following the demolition of its original site. It is rather difficult to read, even when zoomed in and therefore I have typed it out in full above.
