Once one of the Black Country's foremost metalworking and glassmaking centres, Smethwick built its Victorian character through the furnaces and foundries lining the Birmingham Canal Navigations as they cut through the town. Part of the Sandwell district in the West Midlands and home to around 54,000 residents, Smethwick sits between Birmingham's western edge and the broader metropolitan conurbation. Bearwood adjoins the town to the southwest.
Cape Hill and Shireland are widely regarded as school-competitive postcodes, while Holly Lodge draws families targeting secondary places in the area. West Midlands Railway services from Smethwick Rolfe Street and Smethwick Galton Bridge reach Birmingham New Street in under ten minutes, opening the full range of the city's state and selective schools.
