My Lord Mayor,
In respectfully dedicating this little volume
to your Lordship, I venture to express the hope it
will be found of sufficient general interest to warrant
its publication, and that it may be permitted to mark
an important landmark in the history of Birmingham
and, may I add, in your own life. The honour
conferred on the City . by the creation of a Lord
Mayor, and on your Lordship in being the first to
fill that important office, is an epoch worthy of
commemoration. That the Citizens of Birmingham
appreciate the conduct of their First Lord Mayor is
fully testified by the fact that they have asked you
to fill the Civic Chair for a second time.
I am, My Lord Mayor,
Your obedient and obliged Servant,
CHARLES EDWARD SCARSE.

BIRMINGHAM TRANQUILLITY,
1776.
In England's fair capital, every year,
A tumult is raifed about choofing Lord Mayor ;
Each party engages with fury and fpleen,
And nothing but ftrife and contention is feen.
Ye wrangling old cits, let me beg you'd look down,
And copy from Birmingham's peaceable town,
Where fouls fixty thoufand or more you may view,
No juflice dwells here, and but conjiables two.
In no place befides that's fo populous grown,
Was ever lefs noife or difturbances known :
All hands find employment, and when their work's done.
Are happy as any fouls under the fun.
With hammer and file time is carefully beat,
For fuch is the mufic of every ftreet :
The anvil's Iharp found is the artift's delight,
And ftamps, lathes, and preffes in concert unite.
Let cities and boroughs for contefts prepare.
In choofing of fherifFs, recorder, or mayor.
With moil kinds of titles they've nothing to do.
Nor difcord in choofing of officers fliew.
The envy and hatred eledlions bring on.
Their hearty intention is always to Ihun ;
No polling, no fcratching, no fcrutinies rife, —
Who friendfhip eiteem muft fuch meafures defpife.
To far diftant climes doth her commerce extend ;
Her channels of traffic admit of no end ;
And Birmingham, whilfl there is trade in the land.
In brightefl invention unrivalled shall ftand. J. Freeth.

BIRMINGHAM JUBILATION,
1896.
Not only London now, but Birmingham each year,
Is busily engaged in choosing a Lord Mayor.
Here is no strife or discord, all peacefully agree.
In private meetings settle, who our Lord Mayor shall be.
Our gracious Queen, the Town into a City raised.
And by all the citizens her Majesty was praised ;
But louder were the praises which on every side were heard.
When our whilome simple Mayor, she turned into a Lord.
How many years have passed, and what changes taken place.
Since first I sang her glories, and bestowed the Muses' grace !
From an almost country village, into a mighty town,
This seat of all the industries has wonderfully grown.
The spirit of true progress, her Council now displays.
Striving ever how it best the City's fame can raise ;
Her noble banner " Forward " have so wide unfurled.
She is known now as the City best governed in the world.
As I ramble now about, O the wonders that I see !
Free Parks for recreation, and Libraries also Free,
Where all may be partakers of the treasures of the mind ;
And Free Art Galleries, where we stores of beauty find.
And the City's healthy too, the streets arc paved and clean.
And splendid are the goods in shop-windows to be seen.
And such the streams of light, the gas-lamps now display,
That the City in the night, is a ri\'al to the day.
And largely has her trade increased, and will wth time increase.
For though she weapons makes of war, she a lover is of peace ;
And as each year passes by, may each new Lord Mayor find
A Birmingham more healthy, both in body and in mind !
The Ghost of Freeth.

PREFACE.

THE Editors of the following fheets
flatter themfelves that any apology
for offering them to the public,
would be unnecelTary :— the utility of fuch
publications, when compiled with care and
accuracy, has ever been acknowledged.
How far they have been fuccefsful in thefe
points, on which alone the merit depends,
muft be left to the decifion of the public.
Thus far however they can take upon them
felves to affert, that no expence has been
thought too much to procure an authentic
Lift of the Inhabitants, &c. They are cer
tain, nothwithftanding, that no work of this
kind can be abfolutely perfed ; for were it
poflible to procure a corredt lift in the
courfe of a week, fo fluftuating are all hu
man affairs, that before the end of another
week, there would be feveral errors (occa-
ftoned by deaths, removals, partnerfhips
commenced, others diffolved, and various
other caufes) which no penetration can
fofefee, no human prudence prevent ; as
fuch they flatter themselves that a candid
and generous public, will not, in any de
gree, impute it to negligence or inattention
in thofe, whofe higheft ambition it is to me rit

An ACCOUNT of
The ancient and prefent State of
BIRMINGHAM,

BIRMINGHAM perhaps is as ancient a town
as any in the kingdom ; it was however
accounted a place of very confiderable traf-
fick, fo far back as the time of Edward the
ConfefTor, and was particularly famous for
it's manufaftories of iron wares of all forts ; and tho'
it is mofl probable that it, as well as moft other
places, has undergone many changes of profperity
and adverfity in fuch a number of years ; yet, from
it's defencelefs ftate, for it doth not appear that ever
it had any fortifications, it might fuffer lefs from the
dreadful calamities of war than thofe places that were
more capable of being defended — and as we may
readily imagine that the thoughts of the inhabitants
were principally, if not entirely engaged in their va
rious employments, they maintained a ftrift neutrality
in all civil commotions, that for centuries embroiled
this unhappy land ; viftor or vanquifhed they would
naturally look upon as friends, fo long as they purcha-
fed their commodities and paid for them ; when it
happened otherwise, their prudence would incline
them to filence, and induce them to bear their lolTes
with fome degree of patience, when they looked round
and compared the fituation of thoufands with their
own. a After

An ACCOUNT

After William the Conqueror had got pofTefTion of
the crown, we find Birmingham in the pofTeffion of
William Fitz-Aufculf (whofe feat was the Caftle of
Dudley) as well as feveral other towns, or rather vil
lages, of lefs note, in the neighbourhood : It is moft
probable that it was taken from the rightful owner
and given to the abovementioned perfon, who was
one of the King's followers from Normandy, as a re
ward for his fervices, as almoft every page in the hif-
torics of thofe times are difgraced with fuch wanton
and inhuman afts of cruelty, committed by thefe new
lords againft the poor conquered Englifh, as makes
humanity fhudder at the bare recital. How much
¦happier might we be in thefe golden days, when our
gracious King who now fills the throne, is truly the
father of his people ! Safe in our perfons — fafe in our
property — unreftrained in matters of faith and reli
gion, and in every other article, fave where the in-
tereft of our neighbour makes its proper ! we may juft-
ly be faid to enjoy the ineftimable bleffings of freedom
in the fulleft extent of the word.
By the Conqueror's furvey it was rated at four hides
of land, having woods of half a mile long and as
much broad ; all being then held of the faid William
Fitz-Aufculf, by one Richard, and valued at 20I. per
ann. — But that it's appellation was originally from
fome ancient owner, in the time of the Saxons, need
not be doubted ; the laft part of it (\-iz. ham) denoting
an home, or dwelling, and the former manifefting it-
felf to be a proper name. Whether the abovemen
tioned Richard was paternal anccftor to thofe who
afterwards afTumed this place for their furname, can
not pofitively be affirmed ; but certain it is, that the
Paganells, who immediately fucceeded William Fitz-
Aufculf in the enjoyment of Dudley-caflle, and the
fubftance of all other his lands, paft it away with
other pofTeffions, to be held by military fervice ; for
in the twelfth of Henry II. amongft the knights fees
then certified by Gervafe Paganell, it appears that
Peter de Birmingham held nine of him, de veteri
feoffamento ; fo that it is hereby clear, that the fa
ther of the faid Peter, whofe name was William, if

of BIRMINGHAM. vii.
if not his grandfather, became firft enfeoffed thereof
in Henry the firft's time.
This Peter being fewer to the faid Gervafe Paganell,
had a caftle here, (of which at prefent not the leaft
trace is left) which ftood not a bow-fhot from St.
Martin's church, on the Southweft-fide, moft pro
bably within the moat, ¦ which might be intended
as a defence, fuch being very frequent in thofe times,
and by a grant of King Henry II. as alfo of the fame
Gervafe Paganell, in his (King Henry's) prefence, a
weekly market was held upon Thurfday ; which mark
et and certain other priviledges, King Richard I.
afterwards confirmed to William de Birmingham, fon
and fuccefTor to the faid Peter, who bore for his arms
azure, a bend lozenge, or, as appears by his feal and
feveral other authorities.
Out of this family doubtlefs came the Birmingham
of Ireland, who fettled there very anciently, perhaps
in the reign of Henry the fecond. Upon the firft con-
queft of that kingdom by Richard Strongbow, for in
the fecond of Henry HI. there was a controverfy,
touching the title of certain lands there, betwixt Eva
de Birmingham, then wife to G. de Marifco, Juftice
of Ireland, and Reginald Talbot ; for juftification
whereof, the faid Reiginald pretended a charter made
to him by King John, at fuch time as he was Earl
of Moreton ; and it is alfo certain that there was one
Peter de Birmingham, an eminent man there about
that time, for King Henry III, in the eighteenth year
of his reign, made him a grant of twenty marks per
ann. to be received out of the Exchequer at Dublin,
for his fupport in his fervice.
William de Birmingham, fon and fuccefTor to the
laft mentioned William, in the twenty-fifth of Henry
III. had a fuit for certain lands lying in this place,
with John the fon of Robert de Hathewy's, for the
determination of which, certain juftices of affize were
then conftituted. In the thirty fourth of Henry the
third, he was by a fpecial patent exempted from
ferving on juries ; and the next year following had a
charter for a fair to be annually held here for the fpace
a 2 of

viii. An ACCOUNT
of four days, beginning on the Eve ofthe Afcenfion,
commonly called Holy Thurfday.
Not long after this there grew fome difpute be
tween Roger de Someri, Baron of Dudley, of whofe
fee Birmingham was held, and this William de Bir
mingham, touching the fervices due by him to the faid
Roger, for his manor, with the members thereunto
belonging ; for which he required that the faid Wil
liam Ihould perform the fervice of eight knights fees,
a half and fourth part, and alfo do fuit to the court at
Dudley for the knights fees belonging thereto, once
every three weeks ; whereupon they came to an agree
ment in the forty-fixth of Henry the third : That
the faid William fhould do fervice for fo many knights
fees, as aforefaid, and appear at the court of Dudley
only twice every year, viz. at that held next after
Michaelmas, and that likewafe next after Eafter ; and
that whenfoever the King's writ of right fhould be
executed there, that is, when it fhould be necellary
to fummon all the knights and peers of the fame
court, holding by military fer\ice, to give judgment in
cafes of difficulty ; as alfo for the trial ofa thief, upon
reafonable fummons he fhould not fail to make his
appearance : upon which agreement the faid Roger
de Someri releafed to him his fuit of court from three
weeks to three weeks.
The next thing memorable of this William de Bir
mingham, was his fiding with his father-in-law, Tho
mas de Aftley and the other barons, in that grand
rebellion againft King Henry the third, and that
being flain in the battle of Evefham in the forty-ninth
of Henry the third, and his lands forfeited, this his
manor of Birmingham was rated at forty pounds, and
the inheritance of it given by the king, TOth divers
lordfhips more, forfeited by others, unto Roger de
Clifford, for his faithful fervices. However by virtue
of the diftum de Kenilworth, that is, a proclamation
iffued by the King whilft he befieged Kenilworth
Caftle ; according to which the greateft part of men's
lands, fo confifcate, might be redeemed by compo-
fition ; this, with the reft, upon fatisfaftion made ac
cording to the tenure of that decree, was rcpofFeffed by

of BIRMINGHAM. ix.
by William de Birmingham, fon and heir to the rebel
abovementioned ; who in the eleventh of Edward I.
obtained a charter of free warren throughout all his
demefne lands here ; as alfo within the manor of
Stockton in Worcefterfhire, &c. &c.
In tlie thirteenth of Edward I. the faid William de
Birmingham, upon a quo warranto brought againft
him and all others who exercifed or claimed any li
berties or priviledges within their lordfhips, exhibited
King Henry the fecond's charter for the Thurfday-
market — and for the fair and free warren King Henry
the third's charter, pleading prefcription for Weyf's
gallows, with courtleet, and affize of bread and beer, all
which were allowed. — The next year following he had
letters of proteftion, upon the king's purpofed transfu-
tation, whom he was to attend therein. Whether at that
time he went beyond fea, confidering it doth not appear
from our hiftorians, that the king himfelf was out of
Englandjis uncertain,but in the twenty-fifth ofthe fame
king's reign, 'tis certain that he was in Gafcoigny in
his fervice under the conduft of the Earl of Lincoln,
and John de St. John (a great baron of thofe days)
where intending to relieve Bellegard, then befieged
by the Earl of Arras ; the faid earl and baron divided
their forces, the lord St. John leading the van through
a wood, who being prefently encountered by the
enemy, and the earl not feconding him, was over
powered by numbers, and fo routed — and himfelf, the
faid Sir William de Birmingham and eight more
knights, befides a great number of 'fquires, were
taken prifoners in triumph to Paris.
The above Sir William died about the thirty-fecond
of Edward the firft ; for in that year John de Aylfton,
clerk, was prefented to the church of Birmingham, by
Ifabel de Birmingham, his widow. From Sir William
de Birmingham defcended another William, and alfo
Henry, a younger fon, who was afterwards made a
knight : As to the laft William who fucceeded his
father, in the fecond of Edward the fecond, his
bailiffs diftrained divers inhabitants of Bromfgrove
and Norton, commonly called King's Norton, for
toll in the market here, fo that there grew a fuit be
twixt

X. An ACCOUNT
twixt them ; whereupon he produced the charters ot
divers kings, as alfo that of Gervafe Paganel, former
ly mentioned, for juftification of his market ; he fur
ther alledged, that his anceftors, for fo the pleading
calls them, had a market here before the Norman
conqueft, (by which it is pretty plain that his family
as well as many others, had been obliged to purchafe
from the rapacious conqueror and his followers, thofe
very lands and lordfhips which had been pofTeffed by
their anceftors time immemorial ; it likewife convin
ces us ofthe early importance of this fcene of induftry,
and that whilft the feveral kings were granting char
ters, &c. they were convinced they were doing no
more than juftice to the injured family) but the men
of Bromfgrove and Norton, to this anfwered, that
thofe lordfhips where they fo inhabited, were of the
ancient demefne of the crown of England, and that
they, as all other refident upon the like lands,
ought to be free from payment of toll throughout the
realm for all petty commodities, as viftuals, &c. ex
cept it could appear that they bought and fold as com
mon merchants ; upon which they were acquitted by
the judgment of the court, having cofts awarded them
againft the faid bailiffs.
In the eleventh of Edward the fecond this William
was a knight, after which time no more mention is
made of him ; but his fon, whofe name was likewife
William, was honoured with many eminent employ
ments, viz. in the eighteenth of Edward the fecond,
for chufing 400 foot foldiers within this county, except
the towns of Warwick and Coventry, and arming
them in defence of the realm ; and likewife the fame
year for eledling Knights Efquires, and other men at
arms, to attend the King into Gafcoigny ; the next en-
fuing year, he was a commifTioner appointed to in
quire and certify the names of all thofe in this county,
that having 40I. lands per annum, had not received
military arms, as alio for the arraying of men accord
ing to the flatute of Winchefler. In the 20th of Ed
ward the fecond, he had the cuflody of Dudley Caftle,
with the appurtenances, but this was fo granted to him
by thofe that then exercifed royal power in the king's
name.

name, for the king was then a prifoner, and fhortly af
ter depofed and cruelly murdered.
The record fays. That it was upon the forfeiture of
Hugh le Defpencer, the younger, that the faid William
was put in pofTefTion of the abovementioned caftle,
perhaps, that upon the death of John de Someri, which
happened about four years before, leaving none but
female heirs, the fame Hugh had the truft thereof, as
the king's efpecial favourite, committed to his charge.
In the firft of Edward the third, this William was
in commiffion with John Murdak, for confervation of
the peace in this county, as alfo to put the ftatute of
Winchefter in execution . So likewife in the fifth
of Edward the third, being at that time a knight, it
is uncertain how long he had the cuftody of Dudley
Caftle, but in the feventh of Edward the third 'tis
evident that it was in his hands, for by his patent,
being to anfwer for the profits thence arifing unto the
king's exchequer, and then complaining that the trea-
furer and the barons did refufe to admit ofhis accounts,
wherein he had charged fuch wages as had been paid
to the porter and watchman ofthe faid caftle, and to the
forefter and keepers of the chace of Penfened, as alfo
of the parks- of Dudley and Sedgley, and the old park
pertaining to the faid caftle, but the king direfted a fpe
cial mandamus to the faid treafurer and barons com
manding them to let it pafs. In the ninth of Ed
ward the third, he was in commiffion for arraying of
men, as well knights as others, according to their feve
ral ftates and degrees, in order to the ftatute of Win
chefter ; to the end that they might be in readinefs
for the defence of the realm, whenfoever they might
be called upon, in which commiffion he is called Wil
liam de Birminghan^ fenior ; fo alfo in two others in
the fame year, the one for confervation of the peace
and the flatute of Northampton, and the other of
array. To the laft Sir William fucceeded Sir Fouk de Bir
mingham, Knight, of whom mention is made in the
1 6th of Edward the Third, he having then lent 48 marks
to Sir Baldwin Frevill, of Tamworth Caftle, for which
he had five mills at Tamworth, viz. three in Warwick-
fhire, and two in StafFordfhire, in leafe for one year. In

xii. An ACCOUNT
In the 20th of Edward the Third, he was retained by
Thomas Bifhop of Durham, to attend the King in his
French expedition.
In the 25 th of Edward the Third, he was one ofthe
knights of this fhire in parliament, then held at Weft-
minfter ; fo alfo in the parliament of the 3 5th of Edw.
the Third ; the fame year he was a commiffioner for '
confervation of the peace in this county. The next
year he ferved again in parliament held at Weftminfter,
as one of the knights of this fhire ; fo alfo in the 39th
and 40th of Edward the Third, in the latter of which
he was one ofthe commiffioners of array in this Coun
ty ; and likewife in the 41ft of Edward the Third. —
And laftly, in the 47th of Edward the Third, one of
knights of the fhire in the parliament then held at
Weftminfter. To him fucceeded, John, his fon and heir, who in
the 5 th of Edward the Third, was a knight, and in the
2d of Richard the Second, fheriff of this county and
Leiceftershire ; and in the 4th of Richard the Second
ferved in parliament at Northampton, as one of the
knights ofthe fhire, being the fame year fheriff for the
counties of Buckingham and Bedford. In the 5th ot
Richard lid. he was again one of the knights for this
county in parliament then held at Weftminfter, and a
commiffioner for raifing power againft tlie rebels, that
is John Wickliffe and his followers ; fo likewife the
year next enfuing. In the Sth of Richard lid. he ferved
again in parliament at Weflminfter ; -svas also a commif
fioner for affeffing a 1 5th and loth then granted to the
King ; and the fame year conflituted fheriff" for this
county and Leiceftershire, but the certain time of his
death I have not been able to difcover.
After which Elizabeth, his widow, one ofthe daugh
ters and heireffes of William de la Plaunch, by whom
he had no iffue, married to the Lord Clinton, and held
this lordfliip of Birmingham in dower, till her death,
which happened in the 2d of Henry the Sixth.
The inheritance of this lordfhip was by fome entail
fettled upon the heir male of this family, viz. another
William de Birmingham, fon of William, fon to John,
uncle to the before-mentioned Sir Fouk; for it appears in

of BIRMINGHAM. xiii.
in the 20th of Richard the Second, he confirmed unto
certain feoffees to the ufe of the lady Elizabeth, then
the wife of Sir John de Clinton, but formerly of Sir
John de Birmingham, an eftate for life, in this manner,
faving the reverfion to himfelf and his heirs, and yet
filled himfelf Dominus de Birmingham, before her
death, as is evident by his prefentation ofa prieft in the
4th of Henry the Fourth, to Clodfhall's Chantry, in the
Church of St. Martin here at Birmingham. And fo
was reputed, notwithftanding the intereft that Edmund
Lord Ferrers of Chartley, had therein, in right of Elene
his wife, as by the inquifition taken after his death
may feem.
This William de Birmingham was not much infe
rior to any of his anceftors, for public employments in
this county ; — in the ift of Henry the Fifth he ferved
as one of the knights for this fhire in parliament then
held at Weftminfter ; yet afterwards, till the 17th of
Henry the Sixth, lived retired, when he was firft put
in commiffion for confervation of the peace ; and the
fame year had a fpecial exemption that no purveyor or
vidlualler fhould take any provifions within this his
lordfhip, for the expences of the king's houfhold ; in
which patent the king calls him Dileftus Armiger
noftes. — In the 2 1 ft of Henry the Sixth, he underwent
the office of fheriff for this county and Leicefterfhire ;
in the 27th, he was a knight ; in the 28th he was a com
miffioner for affeffing a fubfidy then granted to the king
in parliament, as alfo for treating with the people about
lending money to the king; but after Henry the Sixth's
time I do not find him in any public fervice, whereby
I conclude, that he adhered to the houfe of Lancafter,
for he did not die till the I Sth of Edward the Fourth,
leaving Wm. his fon and heir, 30 years of age ; which
faid Sir William married Ifabel, the daughter and
heirefs of William Hitton, and by her had iffue Willi
am, who died the 15 th of Henry the Seventh, leaving
Edward his grandchild and heir, not much above three
years old, whofe wardfhip being in the 17th of Henry
the Seventh, granted by the king to Edward Lord
Dudley, together with the cuftody of lands of his in
heritance — this Birmingham was purchafed, it feems,
b by

xiv. An ACCOUNT
by Elizabeth Birmingham, his mother, for flie after
wards fold it to William Conningfley, ferjeant at law.
This Edward was the laft of the family that had any
poffcffions here ; for being cotemporary with that am
bitious man John Dudley, afterwards Vifcount L'Ifle,
more commonly known by thofe greater titles which
he fometimes had, viz. Earl of Warwick and Duke of
Northumberland — he was in a ftrange manner deprived
of this lordfhip, his lawful inheritance. The faid John
having poffeffed himfelf of Dudley Caftle, caft his eye
upon Birmingham as a moft defirable objeft, and a
proper ornament for fo noble a feat, and he was there
fore determined to poflefs it, let the confequence be
what it would ; but he was obliged to be extremely
wary in his proceedings, for there were obflacles to
furmount, that, to a perfon either lefs ambitious, or

— but he knew no law but his intereft ; no religion,
but what adminiftred to his pride ; no confcience, but
what was fubfervient to his avarice. Had he made
propofals for purchafing, he knew his offers would have
been rejefted with fcorn, as it was in poffeffion, and the
principal refidence of fuch a refpedlable family, who
had enjoyed itfeveral hundred years ; befides, fuch pro

could not fail of fuccefs, he obliged fome of his agents
to take lodgings in Birmingham, and to learn when the
faid Edward Birmingham ^vas to ride from home ;
which being accordingly done, they fo contrived their
bufinefs, that one of their plot fhould ride leifurely be

nary pace, be overtaken by him ; whereupon they
watched an opportunity to ilrike into the faid Birming

berly for fome dme ; but being come up to their con
federate, forthwith fet upon him for his purfe ; fo that

them, and likewife after Birmingham, as one of the
gang, who being thereupon apprehended and profe-
cuted, apparently faw his danger.
The bufinefs now, therefore, working according to
Dudley's firft dcfign, there were others employed to
Mr. Birmingham, with overture, how he might fave
his life, by making the Vifcount L'Ifle his friend, in
giving up his lordfhip of Birmingham to him ; which,
that it might bear the better colour, and be the more'
valid, was performed by yielding it to the king, and ra
tified by a fpecial act of parliament, the tenor whereof
was as follows :
" Whereas Edward Byrmingham, late of Byrming-
ham, in the county of Warwick, Efqr otherwife callid
Edward Bermingham, Efquire, ys and ftandyth lawful
ly indettid to our fovereing Lord the Kynge, in diverse
grete fummes of money ; and alfo ftandyth at the mercy
of his highnefs, for that the fame Edward ys at this
prefent convifted of felony ; our feide fovereign Lord
the Kyng ys contentid and pleafed, that for and in re-
compence and fatisfaftion to his grace of the feyde
fummes of money, to accepte of the feyde Edward, the
manour & Lordfhip of Byrmingham, otherwife Byr-
mincham, with the appurtenances, lying and being in
the county of Warwick ; and all and fingular other
lands and tenements, reverfions, rents, fervices, and
hereditaments of the faid Edward Byrmingham, fet,
lying and being in the county of Warwick afforefayde.
Bey't therefor ordeyned and enafted, by the authority
of this prefent parliament, that our feyde fovereign
Lord the Kynge fhall have and hold to him and his
heirs and afTignes for ever, the feyde manour and lord
fhip of Byrmingham, &c. &c."  In which aft there
is a refervation of 40I. per ann. to the faid Edward and
Elizabeth his wife, during their lives.
Thus by an artful ftroke of villany an ancient and
honourable family was deprived of their paternal
eftate, and not only fo, but the proprietor ftigmatized
as a felon. The method the abovementioned ignoble-
man, the vifcount L'Ifle, took to poffefs himfelf of his
neighbour's property, might make the fons of rapine,
fraud and corruption blufli that they have not made

greater improvement in their refpeftive profeffions —
at the fame time it holds out a ftriking leffon to thofe
who fet all laws, divine and human, at defiance, in
order to fatisfjr their rapacious and avaricious dif-
pofitions. The vifcount L'Ifle was in the higheft favour with
his fovereign, who indeed may be faid to have abetted
him in his cruel and unjust proceedings, for notwith
ftanding their fham pretences of Mr. Birmingham
being indebted to the king, which was merely an ar
tifice to blind the prying eyes of the public, the faid
eftate was granted by the king to the said vifcount
L'Ifle a few years afterwards, who was either beloved
or feared by all ranks and conditions of men — he was
made Earl of Warwick and Duke of Northumberland,
in fhort he enjoyed every honour that his fovereign
could beftow — but notwithflanding all his greatnefs,
juflice at length overtook him for his crimes, for in the
firft of Mary he was attainted and loft his head, when
all his eftates became forfeited to the crown. — Learn
from this, all you, who though bleffed with abundance,
behold with envy the poffeffions of your neighbour —
you whom neither honour nor confcience can reflrain
from committing depredations on their property or
reputation, fbll keep this important truth in your
mind, that the eternal juflice is not to be deluded,
or evaded ; and though mercy may hold her hand for
a time, in order to give the offender an opportunity of
renouncing his errors, yet that is not always the cafe,
for we very frequently fee them taken in the execution
of their fchemes and made public examples, but even
if they fhould be fortunate enough to efcape that
fhame and punifhment, let them not deem themfelves
fecure, for vengeance will moft affuredly overtake
them, and exaft full retribution for all their enormous
offences. Perhaps fome may think fo particular an
account of the family of the Birminghams fuperfluous
and unneceffary, it may be fo — yet it icrves to throw
fome light upon the fubjeft, and gives an idea of what
the town muft be, when it was confidered as an ap
pendage to Dudley, in comparifon of which it is at
this day, and is therefore not altogether uninterefHng, In

In the thirty-fifth of Henry the Third, a grant was
made for the holding another fair yearly for three days,
viz. on the eve of St. John Baptift, and the two days-
next following, the Sheriff of Worcefter having then
command to proclaim it accordingly throughout his
liberties. In the twelfth of Edward Ild. the inhabitants at
the inftance of Audamare de Valence, Earl of Pem
broke, obtained a licence to take toll of all vendible
commodities brought hither to be fold for the fpace of
three years, viz. for every quarter of corn one farthing,
and fo in proportion for other goods, towards paving
the town ; but this work was not compleated within
that time, nor of fifteen years afterwards ; for in the
7th of Henry the Third, they had another patent in
like manner to take toll for three years more. — 'Tis no
wonder that a work, attended with such an expence as
new paving a town neceffarily muft be, was not com
pleated by fuch flender refources as thefe grants inveft-
ed them with, even if we fuppofe the town only to
have contained one-fourth of the fpace it now occupies,
and money to have been at ten times its prefent value.
Some account of the Hofpital of St. Thomas tie Apoftle.
This was fituate at the end of Town, and on the
right hand the road leading to Wolverhampton, and
nearly oppofite the fign of the Bull, which 'tis probable
was near the top of Snow-hill, and that the ftreet which
now goes by the name of BuU-ftreet, took it from that
inn. But as to the original foundation of the faid hof
pital, there are no accounts to be found which throw
any light upon the fubjeft ; the only teftimony con
cerning it is the certificate made by the commiffioners
upon their furvey in the 37th of Henry the Eighth, by
which it appears to have been erefted by fome of the
anceftors of the Birmingham family, for one Prieft to
fing mafs daily therein for the fouls of the founders for
ever ; as alfo that the late Lord of Birmingham (viz.
Edward Birmingham, Efq ; did grant the patronage of
it to John Pretty, for 99 years ; which faid John paffed
away his title therein to Mr. Clement Throcmorton, Gent.

the Firft, wherein it appeareth, that Thomas de Mai-
denhacke gave unto it ten acres of Heath in Afton ;
Will de Birmingham, 10 acres likewdfe ; and Ranulph
de Rokeby, 3 acres of land, in Saluteley. About that
time were divers cottages and lands lying alfo in Bir
mingham and the adjacent villages, given to it by fun-
dry others, viz. 22 acres of land, and half an acre of
meadow, by the faid Will, de Birmingham, and the reft
by a number of ordinary perfons ; for all which the
prior and brethren thereof obtained the king's efpecial
pardon in the fourth of Edward lid. in regard they had
been given thereto after publication of the Statute of
mortmain made in the 7th of Edward the Firft.
In the 24th of Edward the Third, Fouk de Birming
ham and Richard Spencer, gave thereunto two meffu-
ages and an hundred acres of land lying in Afton and
Birmingham, to find a prieft to celebrate divine fervice
daily at the altar of our bleffed Lady in the Church of
the faid hofpital for the fouls of Will, le Mecas and
Margery his wife, and of certain others. The clear
yearly value of all which lands and tenements belong
ing thereto, over and above reprifes, were in the 26th
of Henry the Eighth, certified to be 81. 5s. 3d. at which
time Sir Edward Tofte was Chantry prieft there ; but
in the 37th of Henry the Eighth, the value, above re
prifes, was rated at 81. 8s. gd.
The GILD of the HOLY CROSS.
THIS hall was fituate in New-flxeet, on the place
where the Free-fchool now ftands. It was founded
in the time of Richard lid. Thomas de Sheldon,
John Colefliil, John Goldfmyth, and William alte
Slow, obtained a licence from that prince, in the 6th
year of his reign, to grant lands of 20 marks per ann.
value, lying in Birmingham and Edgbafton, for the
maintenance of two priefts to celebrate divine fervice,
to the honour of God, our bleffed Lady, his mother,

Within ten years afterwards the inhabitants of this
town, by the name ofthe bailiffs and commonalty, pro
cured a patent from the fame king, to found a gild or
perpetual fraternity amongft themfelves, to the honour
of the holy crofs, confifling not only of men and wo
men of Birmingham, but other adjacent places, and to
conflitute a matter and certain wardens thereof ; as al
fo to ereft a chantry of priefts to celebrate divine fer-
^ace in the faid church for the fouls of the founders and
all the fraternity ; for whofe fupport, and of all other
charges incumbent, there were 1 8 meffuages, 3 tofts, 6
acres of land 40I. rent, lying in the above fpecified
town of Birmingham, and Edgbafton then given there
to ; the lands belonging to which Gild were, in the
37th of Henry the Eighth, valued at 31I. 2s. lod. out

CLODSHALL's CHANTRY.
IN the 4th of Edward the 3d, Walter Clodfliall, of
Saldey, having obtained licence of William de Bir
mingham, chief lord of the fee, as alfo of the king, for
the founding a Chantry at the altar of our lady, in the
church of St. Martin, gave four meffuages, 20 acres of
land, and l8d. rent, all lying in the town of Birming
ham, for the maintenance of one prieft to celebrate di
vine fervice there for the fouls of him the faid Walter
Clodfliall, Agnes his wife, their anceftors and all tbe
faithfull deccafed.
In the twenty-firft of Edward III, Richard de Clodf-
hall, fon and heir of the faid Walter, gave five mef
fuages, ten acres of land and los. yearly rent, lying
in Birmingham, for the fupport of another prieft to
celebrate' divine fervice at the faid altar, for the good
eftate of him the faid Richard and Alice his wife,
during their lives in this world, and for their fouls af
ter their departure thence, as alfo for the fouls of his
father and mother, and of Fouk de Birmingham and
Joan his wife, and all the faithful deceafed.
When this cuftom of leaving thefe kind of legacies
ceafed, and how thofe already bequeathed were after
wards difpofed of, few people are ignorant — thofe,
however, who want information on that head, may
refer to the hiftory of the reigns of Henry the Eighth,
and his immediate fucceffors, where they will find a
full and fatisfaftory account.
After having faid fo much refpefting the town of
Birmingham in it's ancient ftate, which we hope will
not be difagreeable to our readers, we fhall proceed to
take a flight view of it in it's prefent ftate.
It appears from ancient hiftories and records, that
Birmingham was celebrated for it's manufaftories of
iron-wares fo far back as the time of Edward the Con-
feflor, and 'tis moft probable little elfe was attempted
for feveral centuries. — The various toys, japanned
goods, buttons and buckle-trades, &c. &c. owe
their origin to much more modem dates — how
ever for variety, beauty, and cheapnefs, perhaps they
exceed the whole univcrfe.
The fituation of the town is agreeable and neariyin the

of BIRMINGHAM. xxi.
the centre of the kingdom — it is about two miles long,
including the hamlet of Deritend, and not much lefs
in breadth, and is nearly in the form of a half moon.
The number of inhabitants, from a late accurate
furvey, is calculated at Forty Thoufand, and the houfes
at about Seven Thoufand ; but as the comparative po-
puloufnefs of Birmingham, with many other principal
trading towns, has been the fubjeft of much difpute,
we fhall here, for their information and fatisfaftion,
prefent our readers with a fcale of the number of in
habitants which the moft flourifhing towns in this and
other kingdoms contained, on an eftimate taken in the
year, 1773 (excepting Birmingham, which was num
bered in 1770) and publiflied in Enfield's hiftory of
Leverpool :

London 651,580
Paris 480,000
Amfterdam 200,000
Leverpool 34,407

Birmingham 30,804
Manchefter 24,533'*
Norwich 24,500
Leeds 16,380
When it is confidered, that feven years have elapfed
fince this calculation was made, and that there has been
a great increafe of houfes and people during that pe
riod, one may fafely prefume that Birmingham, at this
time, exceeds Leverpool, in the number of its inhabi
tants. The concourfe of nobility, gentry, merchants and
traders, (as well foreigners as natives) who are con
tinually flocking hither is amazing, the former out of
curiofity, the others in the way of bufinefs, who
feldom return without expreffing their aftonifhment
and fatisfaftion at the number and ingenuity of the ar
tificers, who may be faid to be really in poffeffion of the
philofopher's ftone, and literally to have the power ot
converting iron, &c. into gold without any confide
rable diminution of it's weight.
The trade of this place has greatly the advantage
over any other in thefe kingdoms — perhaps there is
more money returned in Manchefter than Birmingham,
but then the materials of which their goods are fabri-
* This number, fays Mr. Enfield, is produced by allowing the
fame proportion of inhabitants to each houfe, as in Birmingham,
namely, 5 and i-9th, the number of inhabited houfes being 4800.

cated, arc much more valuable than thofe with which
the general run of fuch as are got up here are made —
as a pair of buckles, a watch chain, a fword hilt, &c.
which are worth from one to five pounds when finifh-
ed, and some a great deal more, can be made from ma
terials which were not originally worth one penny,
which muft convince any impartial man the great ad
vantages arifing to the public from this branch of trade
more than any other, and the materials chiefly ufed
are fuch as are the produce of our own kingdom.
The public buildings are, St. Martin's Church, feve
ral times mentioned in the preceding part, which is an
ancient ftrufture, has a lofty fpire, 1 2 good bells, and
an excellent fet of mufical chimes, which are kept in
good order, play every three hours, and a different
tune every day.
St. Philip's church is a grand modern ftrufture, hav
ing a fine tower, with ten bells and a handfome cupola
above it. It has likewife a fet of mufical chimes which
play every three hours, but not at the fame time with
thofe of St. Martin, and the tunes are varied ever}- day.
The fituation is high, and the church-yard, which for
beauty and extent, is, perhaps, not furpaffed by any
in this kingdom, is handfomely laid out with gravel
walks, and being wholly furrounded with trees, forms,
in the fultry feafon, a cool and welcome fhade to the
inhabitants, and in the wintry months, affords a re
treat, dry, pleafant, and airy.
St. Bartholmew's chapel is a plain but neat build
ing, has a clock, and a good chapel yard.
St. Mary's chapel is built in an oftagonal form,
will contain a great number of perfons, and has a com
modious chapel-yard.
A new chapel, intended to be dedicated to St. Paul,
is now building on a fine rifing ground a fmall diftance
from New-hall-ftreet. — The ereftion of this edifice,
we are told, is undertaken by a Gentleman, whofe
tafte and ability afford every reafon to expeft that the
building will be a ftriking ornament, and that it will
be executed in fuch a manner, as to reflect equal ho
nour on the Town and the Architeft.
There are befides for public worfliip, two meeting- houfes

of BIRMINGHAM. xxiii.
houfes for Prefbyterians, one for Quakers, and three
for Diffenters of different denominations.
The Free Schools are three in number ; one of
which (before-mentioned) fituated in New-ftreet,
is a very handfome ftrufture, founded by King Edw.
6th. whofe effigy is placed in a niche, over the en
trance, in which about 1 2 o or 1 3 o fcholars are educated
in Latin, Englifh, Writing, and Arithmetic, under
the tuition of two mafters and an affiftant, for the firft
clafs ; an Englifh, and a Writing matter, and to thefe,
a French-mafter has been lately added. There is a
good clock, and a bell to give notice when the fcholars
are to repair to, and return from fchool.
The fecond fchool, fituate in St. Philip's church
yard, was founded in 1724 : it is fupported by the mu
nificence and voluntary contributions of well-difpofed
inhabitants of the town, together with divers legacies
that are bequeathed to it. In this fchool, 60 boys and
30 girls are wholly maintained and educated, they are
admitted from feven to ten years old, and when 14
are put apprentices to trades or fervices : the boys are
inflrufted in Englifh, Writing, and Accounts ; as are
likewife the girls with the addition of needlework.
The third, fituate in Old Meeting-ftreet, is a late
inftitution, fupported chiefly by a voluntary fubfcrip-
tion amongft the Proteftant Diffenters, in which 27
children are maintained, cloathed and educated; and
apprenticed out at proper ages.
The Workhoufe is fituated in Lichfield-ftreet, where
the poor are comfortably provided for, there being near
Six Thoufand Pounds annually raifed by levies for
their fupport.
There are two croffes, one called the Welch, and the
other the Old crofs, over the latter is held the Court of
Requefts, and moft of the town meetings.
Perhaps it will be unneceffary to inform the public,
that we have amongft our public buildings, two The
atres, both of which are at this time fhut up, owing to
a difagreement now unhappily fubfifting between the
friends of the refpeftive houfes.
At a convenient diftance from Birmingham, are Dud-
defton-gardens, commonly called Vauxhall, where,
during the fummer feason, Mufical Entertainments are
c 2 exhibited

xxiv. An ACCOUNT
exhibited after the manner of that near London. The
gardens are well laid out, and the houfe affords good
Entertainment. There is for amufement a fine bowl
ing-green, billiard-table, &c.
In the 'Winter there are concerts, balls, &c. in a new
erefted building, called the Hotel. This is really a
fine building, and feems well-adapted to the proper ac
commodation of polite company, or were there ftabling
&c. belonging to it, it would make a noble inn; but
whether the fum neceffary in furnifhing fuch fpacious
and elegant apartments, for the reception of ftrangers,
be an obftacle to any perfon's taking it, or whether
any other caufe exift, unfavourable to its being occu
pied, we cannot determine ; thus much is clear, that it
hath never yet been applied to the purpofes for which
it is prefumed it was originally intended.
An Hofpital, towards which a confiderable fum was
fubfcribed, was begun in the year, 1767, and fo far
carried forward that it was covered in ; in this fitua
tion it has remained feveral years without being finilh-
cd : a fcheme is now on foot for that defirable end.
It is indeed fomewhat ftrange that it fhould remain
fo long unendowed ; the more fo, as the general opi
nion is decifively in favour of its utility. Such an afy-
lum for the fick and lame feems peculiarly neceffary
in this place ; where the manufafturers are, by the na
ture of their employment, expofed to manifold injuries
in their limbs and health. That Humanity and Ten-
dernefs, for which this country hath ever been admir
ed and diftinguifhed, call loudly upon thofe who are
bleffed with affluence to contribute liberally to the
perfefting of fo charitable an inftitution, and to tafte
the pleafure of adminiftering to the relief of a fuffering
fellow creature.
In the neighbourhood is a great number of noble
and gentlemens' feats ; and many of the merchants
and manufafturers have their country houfes in the en
virons of the town.
Within a, few years feveral afts of parliament have
been obtained (fome of which have been attended
with good effefts) viz. the aft for lighting, widening,
and cleanfing the ftreets ; the navigation aft ; and the
affay aft. The

The navigation aft, that is, for making a navigable
canal from the collieries at Wednefbury, from whence
the town is fupplied, which was begun in 1768, and
finifhed in about a year and a half, has been attended
with uncommon advantages, in the article of coals
only ; in furnifliing them for half the price at which
they were formerly ; and the quantities confumed
here are aftonifhing ; befides thofe burnt in common
houfhold ufe, fires being neceffary in almoft every
branch of manufaftory. This cut fince that time has
been extended in fuch a manner, as to open a commu
nication with many of the principal trading towns in
the kingdom, viz. Shrewfbury, Gloucefter, Briftol,
Liverpool, Manchefter, Hull, Gainfborough, York,
and all others fituate on the Severn, the Merfey, the
Humber, &c.
The reader will readily conceive that it muft like-
wife make a very material difference in the carriage of
many other articles ufed here, which are moftly heavy,
fuch as Copper, Brafs, Iron, Sec. and thereby be a ve
ry great faving to the public.
At the head of the Navigation, is a neat fmall ofta-
gon building, in which are the clerks offices, a com
mittee room, and a clock. It is unneceffary to point
out the utility of public clocks, in all large places, and
particularly where confiderable manufaftories are car
ried on.
The affay aft furnifhed powers for eftabliihing an
office of Aflay to try and ftamp wrought plate ; which
before that time was obliged to be fent up to London
to be tried : this was a great inconvenience, and con-
fequently a great difcouragement to the manufafturer.
Since obtaining the above aft many people have done
fomething in that article.
In confequence of the other, feveral houfes, &c.
have been taken down, in order to open paffages for
the convenience and fafety of the inhabitants and tra
vellers, befides which many other improvements have
been made.
About three years ago the firft Hackney Coach was
fet up, fince which time they have increafed to about
twelve, and both the proprietors and the public find
their account in them. This

xxvi. An ACCOUNT
This town being no corporation, is governed by two
bailiffs, two conftables, and a headborough, and is free
for any perfon to come and fettle in it, which contri
butes not a little to the increafe of its trade, buildings,
and inhabitants, the rapidity of which is truly amazing.
The principal Market ftill continues on Thurfday,
although there are markets for many articles, on Mon
days, Tuefdays, and Saturdays.
There are two Fairs, one of which is held in Whit-
fun-week, and the other at Michaelmas, and is parti
cularly remarkable for the prodigious quantity of oni
ons brought for fale.
Having given a flight fketch of the Town in general,
which is all our limits will admit of, we fhall only
obferve, that in the fcale of government it is undoubt
edly one of the firft places in the empire, confider it
whatever light you pleafe. — The number, opulence,
ingenuity and induftry of it's inhabitants, are univer-
fally allowed ; the riches they draw from other coun
tries towards the fupport of their own, is equally ob
vious as their connexions are unbounded.
To enumerate the particular manufaftories would
be impoffible, or to afcertain the time of their intro-
duftion — the reception they have met with in every
country in Europe, as well as in moft other parts
of the globe, convinces us of their utility, and the
fuperiority they have over all others, in point of cheap
nefs at leaft, and bringing our natural and inveterate
enemies, as well as our fincere friends, to be purcha-
fers, is very flattering, as well as profitable to the
whole kingdom ; whilft the increafing demand may
ferve to affure us that Birmingham is not yet arrived at
it's meridian.
The number of reputable manufafturers is very
great, who vie with each other in improving the re
fpeftive branches in which they are concerned, that to
fignalize any one from the reft, would be an unpar
donable aft"ront to all, and were we fo inclined, al
though we are acquainted with the produftions of a
great many, we fliould not know to whom the pre
ference is due. — Scarce a week pafles but fomething
new makes it's appearance, and thus the proprietor
or inventor enjoys a temporary fuperiority, to which in

in a few days fome other generally fucceeds. — That the
fame laudable fpirit of emulation, and thirtt for ho-
neft fame may flill continue ; that the Arts and Artifts
of Birmingham may ftill obtain a welcome reception,
and deferve and meet with a diftinguifhing preference
in every part of the known world ; and that the town
may, by the number, refpeftability, and public fpirit
of its inhabitants, always remain, what it now confef-
fedly is, the pride, as well as a material fource of its
country's greatnefs and glory, muft be the unfeigned
wifh of every true Briton ; of every friend to trade
and commerce ; but of none more fo than of the pub
lic's grateful and obliged fervants, the Editors of this

The first Directory of Birmingham, published in 1770 by
Sketchley and Adams, contains at the end a List of Public
Offices &c. These are — The Bank, 7, Dale End; Excise Office,
89, Dale End ; Navigation Office, 30, Newhall Street ; Lamp
Office, 28, Spiceal Street ; Court of Request Offices, 39 New
Street; and "The Court of Conscience held at the Old Cross
every Friday.''
A Street List is also appended giving the number of houses
and inhabitants (male and female) in each street.
The summary is : — 6,025 houses ; IS>3^3 male inhabitants,
15,441 female — total, 30,804.
In 1750 the number of houses was 4,170, and of inhabitants
23,688, showing that the increase in the population from 1750 to
1770 was 7,116. Basing our calculations on these figures, we
may estimate that the number of inhabitants at the date of the
publication of the foregoing Directory, to be about 33,300.

136

i^f o T- :©' s ,
It is estimated that the populatinn of Birmingham in 1770
was 33,300. Tlie population of Greater Birmingham of to-day
is about 501, 25°'
It is difficult to estimate the mileage of the streets, and
also the rating and rental value of the dwelling houses and
other properties 120 years ago, but "in 1782 the Overseers of
the Poor of Birmingham Parish pubhshed a complete rate book,
giving the names of all the inhabitants, alike those who were,
and who were not, rated. This volume is now very rare, and is
especially worth referring to as indicating the vast number of
exemptions then allowed, and the enormous difference between
that period and the present in the value of property in the
principal streets of the town. The return was issued in parts
or divisions, classed as follows: — (i) Edgbaston Street quarter;
(2) Bull Street quarter ; (3) Middle Tovim quarter ; (4) Dale End
quarter. These parts contain only the entries of persons actually
rated ; but there was also issued in one volume of 77 pages
"A Copy of the Grand Levy Book; or an account of all the
Inhabitants who pay, and those who do not pay, the Poor's
Rates in Birmingham. Printed by Pearson and Rollason, 1787."
The list thus published contains the entries of 12,000 houses, &c.,
of which only 3,000 were rated to the poor. The 9,000 which
were not rated were classed as follows : —
500 above f<) and under £10.

Tlie rating seems, indeed, to have been strangely unequal, -While
there were 6,000 houses of above £6 yearly value altogether
unassessed to the rate, there were many rated of the values of
;^5, £4, and even so low as £2 yearly. All the values assessed
were, however, veiy low. In Spiceal Street, for example, the

137
highest assessment — or rental as the Overseers put it — was £l8 •
in Edgbaston Street the house and warehouse of Mr. Abraham
Spooner, a leading merchant, ^'34; in Smallbrook Street, ;^I2,
excepting the Riding House — then occupied by the Rev. Mr. Curtis,
which was rated at ^^35, the land attached to it being rated at
the same amount. In the BuU Ring the highest rental was
£20; in Suffolk Street, ^^13; in the Old Hinkleys several houses
were rated at £1. In New Street the ratals were strangely low;
the highest — the Play House (Theatre Royal)— stood at ^50 ;
Kettle's house and steelhouse works, ;^26 ; and other houses and
warehouses at from ^^8 to ;^I5. In Peck Lane we have an
"Elabatory" (Laboratory), rated at £3. In Temple Row, then
one of the best residential streets, the highest ratal is £40 paid
by Dadley and Paimer ; Dr. Ash, the physician for his house
and stables, is rated at £16. In Colmore Row many persons
escape altogether : the highest amount is £20. In Newhall
Street, Dr. Male, whose house formerly stood on the site of the
Union Club, is rated at £16. Clay, the papier-mache maker, at £14;
Samuel Garbett, a leading brassfounder, at £16; AViliiam Chance,
the merchant, at £10; — these are the highest amounts. In Paradise
Row (now Paradise Street) there is nothing higher than £14,
excepting the Navigation Office (Old AVharf), which stands at
£42. Park Street and the neighbouring smaller streets are almost
blank, everybody escapes rating. In Digbeth the ratals run
generally from about £3 to about £24 — the bulk being under
£10, with one conspicuous exception, "Sampson Lloyd and Co.,
mill and meadow, £44." In Worcester Street the rents range
from £3 to £13. Queen Street though full of houses, is nearly
a blank as to rating, almost all the residents escaping from local
burdens. In regard to this street there is a curious entry — six
houses, rated at 4s., having appended to them note "paid by
Mr. Ruston,'' possibly an example of the compounding system.
In the middle and busiest streets of the town the rates are pro
portionately as low as in other quarters. In High Street for
example, there are many houses that are not rated at all and
others are plainly rated below their value. Thus AViliiam Hutton,
the historian, stands at £20, although his business as a stationer
was then probably the most important of its kind in the town.

138
The highest ratal in this street is " W. I'aylor's house and
shopping," £68. Bull Street another principal thoroughfare
ranges from £lo to £l8 in ratal. In Snow Hill the highest
amount is £23 ; Livery Street has few houses rated at more than
£2 or £3. In Steelhouse Lane, the highest amount, entered to
".Samuel Galton" — the premises used lately as the Children's
Hospital — is £50 ; the rest are rarely higher than £5, In the
Square, then a good residential place — Mr. Hector, the surgeon,
is rated at £13, " Sampson Lloyd " at £20, and other properties
at £8, £10, and £12. These examples are enough to show the
comparatively small estimated value of property at that date and
the imperfection of the rating arrangements. To this it should
be added that most of the back streets appear to have been
entirely left out of assessment, and that in many of the principal
streets there are long lists of houses to which no ratals are
affixed." *
The rateable value of the property in Birmingham of to-day
(1896) is £2,217,392. There are 261 miles of streets and 266
miles of sewers.
( The City Surveyor has been good enough to supply these
figures.)

The Transformation of
Birmingham.
HALF A CENTURY'S WORK BY MR. TILL.

" It would have been a misfortune if Mr. TUl had
been allowed to retire from the Borough Surveyor's
Department without giving the public, whom he has
served so well, some idea of the wonderful change that
has been effected in Birmingham during the half century
that he has been associated with official life. We made
a suggestion to Mr. Till some time ago that he should
help us to prepare a concise record of his work, but
we found him so modest and diffident in regard to his
own achievements that there did not seem to be much
chance of obtaining the desired information. However,
our worthy ex-Surveyor, who unfortunately is not in
very good health just now, consented to submit himself
to an informal interview on the subject of Old Birming
ham and the Nev^r, and it will be seen from the details
which we have been able to gather what an energetic,
sagacious, and faithful servant Birmingham has lost. In
losing Mr. Till, we must recognise the fact that we are
parting with the man who has played the largest part
in the making of modern Birmingham.
"In 1851 Birmingham consisted of 8,420 acres, and
was controlled by various governing bodies, each of
whom had their own notion of how the place ought to
be conducted. The improvements, however, were not

140
keeping pace with the development of the borough, and
it became obvious to many of the city fathers that
various powers would have to be centralised before any
real good could be accomplished. Accordingly, in 1851
an Act was obtained for the betterment of the district,
and the hamlets of Deritend, Bordesiey, Duddeston, and
Nechells were placed under the Birmingham municipal
wing, instead of being left to the tender mercies of the
Bumbles of Aston Parish. The Birmingham and
Edgbaston Parishes were also pooled, and the borough
perceptibly awakened, and proceeded to cast off yoke
after yoke. One of the first accomplishments was the
abolition of the Turnpike ToUgate authorities. Bearing
in mind the present size of the city, it seems strange to
reflect that the place was saddled with toUgates as
recently as 45 years ago. There were numerous trustees
and turnpike bodies who exercised absolute jurisdiction
over the principal roads. Not only did they assume
command over the main arteries leading into the town,
but they extended their influence within the borough
boundary and were veritable monarchs of the road.
The bodies in \Yhom this power was vested naturaUy
enough did not relish the idea of forfeiting their
privileged collections, and in the end the Corporation
had to compensate them. However, they were forced to
relax their grasp within the borough boundary and take
their toll houses elsewhere. New toll gates were put up
outside the town, but by degrees they disappeared. The
Dudley Road toll house used to stand at the corner of
Spring Hill and Icknield Street. There was a garden
attached, and after some of the space had been utihsed
for street improvements the remainder was turned into a
Corporation store. More recently a further change was
effected, and the branch library now marks the spot. In
Hagley Road some of the ground upon which the toll
house was buUt was required for widening the thorough
fare near Sandon Road, but the rest was surrendered to

141
Lord Calthorpe, who erected a private house on it. The
Bristol Road gate was situated near the junction of that
thoroughfare and Priory Road, while to ensure as large a
toU as possible, there was a bar put across Toy Lane,
which ran at the back of the Gun Barrels, and joined
Bristol Road. This lane has since been closed, and
the traffic diverted along Edgbaston Park Road. The
Pershore Road toll-house stood at the corner of Edgbas
ton Lane, while Kyrwick's Lane indicates the spot where
the Moseley Road custodian located himself. The
Stratford Road gate was fixed close to Ladypool Lane,
whUe tbe Coventry Road tc^U was levied at the corner of
Green Lanes. About this time the character of the
¦dingy little houses with their low roofs and irregular
lines began to undergo a change for the better. The
streets also stood in need of attention, and it may be
considered fortunate that the condition of the buUdings
almost compeUed the owners to reconstruct them. It
was this circumstance which gave Mr. Till his opportunity
of effecting street improvements which are now invalu
able. The heart of the town was little better than a
network of wretched narrow streets, and gullets. Beyond
New Street, High Street, and BuU Street, there was not
a pavement in the place but what was set with "petrified
kidneys,'' which imposed upon the poor pedestrian a
severe test of temper. In Hagley Road and similar
thoroughfares the paths were strewn with gravel, but the
stones were of such a size that comfortable walking was
out of the question entirely. With regard to some roads,
however, the question was not one of convenience alone.
They were in such a state as to be positively dangerous.
They were studded with ruts and great holes, and in
order that the reader may form an adequate idea of
the state of affairs it may be mentioned that in Farm
Street some of the holes had to be fenced round and
lighted after dusk to prevent accidents. As already
pointed out the town was riddled with wretched little

142
streets running irregularly in almost every direction.
Our forefathers appear to have had a weakness for
elevating mankind with the aid of raised footpaths. In
such roads as Hagley Road, Pershore Road, Great
Brook Street, and Aston Road, the footway stood two
or three feet above the level of the horse-road, whUe
the sewage from the houses found its way down guHets
into the gutters. In Deritend and Bordesiey the
Commissioners exerted themselves to give tbe road a
presentable appearance, and the centre of the carriage
way was dressed with Rowley setts to the extent of three
feet wide. Due economy had to be observed, and so
the intervening space was filled with good-sized pebbles.
A similar state of things existed in Duddeston and
Nechells. It was not the paving of the streets, however,
which occasioned the anxiety in the Surveyor's Depart
ment. The great problem to be solved was how to get
the place practically remodelled on such lines as would
meet the requirements of future generations. It was
evident that the narrow ways would constitute a serious
drawback, unless altered, and so their widening became
imperative. If Mr. Till could only be induced to tell
the complete story of how he opportunely wheedled a
bit of land from this owner, gained concessions from
companies, and diplomatically won favours from this
and that trustee, it would occupy a prominent place in
the history of the transformation of Birmingham. One
of the most important concessions was obtained from
the London and North -Western Railway Company.
Prior to 1846, the trains for London as well as
for the North started from Cnrzon Street Station,
the old site now being used as a goods depot. An
Act was passed about that time authorising them to
extend their line to the present position at the bottom
of Stephenson Place. They also obtained permission
to open up the Stour "Valley line from Navigation
Street in the direction of Smelhwick. All this was

143
not possible without very extensive interference with
the existing thoroughfares. The Stour VaUey work
threatened to upset the sewage system in the vicinity
of Navigation Street, but the diffixulty was got over by
raising the level of the street, and at the same time
the gradients of Hill Street, Pinfold Street, and Temple
Street were improved. The carrying of the Une from
Curzon Street swaUowed up a portion of Bartholomew
Street, and absorbed Peck Lane, Little King Street,
Little Queen Street, Vale Street, Little Colmore Street,
and other minor streets. They were all, however, of
a dingy description, and their removal was a boon to
the town, more especiaUy seeing the advantages the
borough gained by the change. Stephenson Place was
made by the company. Queen Street was constructed,
while Sheepcote Street, Sheepcote Lane, and Monument
Road were raised and improved. The canal bridges
were reconstructed, and sewage work was done to the
extent of _;^8,ooo. All this expense was borne by the
company, in consideration of the interference with the
existing arrangements of the town. The Town Com
missioners required the company to construct a public
way through the station, but the company much
preferred to maintain a private way, and their wish was
granted conditionally on their carrying out further street
improvements, and contributing a sum of f^S°°-
Ahnost simultaneously with these negotiations the
Great Western RaUway Company proceeded to open
up their line, and in consideration of the closing of
Brettle Street for the purposes of the line, they con
ceded sufficient land to widen Livery Street and
Colmore Row. Steadily the work of improving the
town proceeded. The kidney stones gradually gave way
to Rowley setts. The Local Government Board seemed
particularly pleased with the Rowley paving, and a
demonstration of their durability, given by Mr. Till,
caused the Board to extend the repayment of a " paving

144
loan'' to 50 years. There was a member of the Council,
however, who held an opposite view, and during the
process of paving a portion of the Gooch Estate he
went to the length of removing the Rowley setts and
substituting blue bricks. This is said to have been the
first bit of blue-brick paving in Birmingham, and the
author of it was afterwards known as " Blue-Brick
Walker." It was the custom in those days for the
Corporation to pay half the cost of paving, providing
the property owner desired his footpaths paved. This
system did not work out as well as the Corporation had
expected, and in 1861 an Act was obtained enabling the
Corporation to borrow ;^5o,ooo for paving purposes,
and at a later date ^140,000 was loaned. Even with
these large sums at their command the authorities
seriously debated whether it would not be advisable to
first of all pave one side of the street and leave the
other to be completed on a future occasion. In the end
both sides of the streets were treated, and the oldest
and worst paved street in Birmingham — Cherry Street —
ceased to be notorious. As the place grew the Public
Building in Moor Street became too small, and a suitable
site for a more commodious buUding was sought for.
Many trustees up to this time had assisted in the
improvement of the town by concessions of land.
Smallbrook Street, Dudley Street, and Hinckley Street
were altered by the gift of land by General Vyse ; and
Colmore Row, Church Street, Broad Street, and New
market Street were improved by land allotted by the
trustees of the Colmore Estate. It was from the latter
source that tbe ground was obtained for the building of
the Council House. Eden Place was partly a gift, while
from other owners grants were made which enabled the
surveyor to widen several other thoroughfares. While
this has been going on the Corporation have turned
churchyards into handsome recreation grounds, and have
secured the many fine parks which now grace the city.

145
If it were needed to illustrate the remarkable change
that bas taken place in the character of Birmingham
during the last half-century it would not be necessary to
say more than that the street mUeage has increased from
one hundred to considerably over two hundred miles.
All this work, together with the lighting, sewering, and
draining, has extended under the personal supervision
of Mr. TUl, whose capacity for work has really been
remarkable. In connection with the paving of the
carriage-way, it is curious that Birmingham has shown a
marked objection to the granite block pavement, and
a distinct partiality for the macadam road. It is safe
to say that there is no large town in the kingdom with
anything like the traffic of Birmingham where there are
so few paved streets as in the Midland Metropolis. The
effect is that the pulverised macadam is washed into the
sewers in large quantities, and cannot be removed except
at great cost. Having accomplished so much laborious
work, extending over half a century, Mr. Till can, at any
rate, claim a rest, and in his comparative retirement he-
takes with him the best wishes and esteem of the whole
community." Reprinted from the Birmi7igha7n Daily Mail, October 2nd, iSg6.
