I hear that the Sandwell Priory excavations that were unearthed under the site of Sandwell Hall, are being worked on (Oct 2013) to put them back into a reasonable state.
And I couldnt find a thread for Sandwell Hall or Priory - which seems a shame.
Its close to my early stomping ground of Handsworth and I hope thats close enought to be considered as close enough to Birmingham to be included in our forum.
I understand there was a project mid 1980's to excavate the Priory and I remember looking around there several years back.
Several monks/priors were found buried on the site and the history goes back to William the Conquerors time.
It seems the name Sandwell came from the Well spring close to the priory.
