TAMWORTH

Until 1889 Tamworth was partly in Warwickshire and partly in Staffordshire. In that year the boundary was changed so Tamworth became located entirely in Staffordshire.

In 1901 Tamworth had a population of 15,000 but it grew rapidly during the 20th century.

The first council houses in Tamworth were built in 1900. More were built in the 1920s and 1930s and after 1945.

The first public library in Tamworth was built in 1905. Tamworth gained an electricity supply in 1924.

During its long history Tamworth has been a market town rather than an industrial centre although there was an industry making agricultural machines in the 20th century and Reliant made cars in Tamworth until 1999. There was also a papermaking industry in Tamworth as well as a textiles industry and one making aluminium ware.

Ankerside Shopping Centre opened in 1980.

Today the population of Tamworth is 75,000.
