A little history
Willenhall was the lock-making capital of Britain — the town produced the majority of British door locks, padlocks and key mechanisms from the 18th century. The Lock Museum, in a Victorian locksmith's house, tells the story. The craft skills of Willenhall locksmiths were unequalled.
The Lock Museum is genuinely fascinating. The town centre for local Black Country character. Wolverhampton is close for wider amenities.
