Wednesbury: A Town with a Rich and Diverse History
Wednesbury is a large town in the West Midlands metropolitan county in England. Since the 19th century, Wednesbury has played an important role in the local car industry, finance industry and motorsport. This article looks at the town's history, its demographic details and its important role in Britain's motorsport industry.
History
Wednesbury has a rich and diverse history. First noted in a charter as Wednesbyrig in the reign of King Edward III, the town's name translates to 'Wedenes' or 'Woden's' hill or fort. The most notable feature of this site was a large castle built in the thirteenth century by the Lord of Wednesbury, which no longer exists.
Wednesbury became an industrial centre in the 19th century, with a particularly strong link to the iron industry. Until the mid-19th century, most of the trade in the town was conducted by local artisans and entrepreneurs, although some trade with London was also taking place. In 1850, the town's main industry was the iron trade, and by 1871, Wednesbury was a major manufacturing town. There were several coal pits and iron furnace works in the town, including two large furnaces located in the vicinity of what is now Church Hill Park.
The town's construction industry also underwent a period of significant growth during this time, with new roads and bridges being built and new housing projects taking shape. In 1883, electric tramways were opened in the town, greatly increasing its accessibility.

Car Industry and Finance Industry
Wednesbury's traditional manufacturing base has evolved over the years, and today the town has strong links to both the car and finance industries.
The town is home to one of the UK's largest car parts manufacturers, Castings Plc. The company has been based in Wednesbury since 1902 and is responsible for sourcing and supplying components to car manufacturers and aftermarket customers around the world.
Wednesbury is also home to some of the UK's most successful financial services companies. Wednesbury Finance Services, a leading financing and investment company, has been based in the town since its formation in 1995. The company has since grown to become one of the UK's most successful independent financiers and continues to provide comprehensive financial services to individuals and businesses throughout the region.
Motorsport
Wednesbury has a strong link to motorsport, with a number of race tracks located nearby. The first of these was the Woodall Race Track, which opened in 1865 and went on to become one of the most popular and prestigious motoring venues in the United Kingdom. The track is still in use today, with regular races and events being held throughout the year.
In addition to the Woodall Race Track, Wednesbury is also home to the Osca Motor Racing Circuit. Established in 1965, Osca has seen international racing stars such as Nigel Mansell and Jackie Stewart competing on its tracks.
