Tamworth is an historic town. It has grown from a small market town to a large overspill town for Birmingham. It now has many facilities. These include out of town shopping, the Snowdome and Tamworth Castle.

Famous sons of Tamworth include Sir Robert Peel. Sir Robert lived at the nearby Drayton Manor, now an amusement park. He was MP for Tamworth, and of course, Prime Minister. His statue is in this photograph. Visit The Peel Web with lots of information about him.

Another famous inhabitant was Thomas Guy, founder of the famous London hospital. He was also MP for Tamworth, but when let down by voters he became a Londoner and built his hospital there. He paid to have this splendid town hall built.
