It is taking place on Sunday September 29 and visitors will get a chance to see the recent preservation work that has been carried out at the The Priory which dates back to the 12th century.

It is just yards from a small well - called The Sand Well - which the borough was named after when it was formed in 1974 following the amalgamation of the boroughs of West Bromwich and Warley.

The Priory Ruins were exposed in the 1980s when an archaeological dig took place which revealed the walls of the original church and other associated buildings.
The special 90-minute tour will start at 2pm from the Grade II listed buildings at Sandwell Park Farm.
Project Officer Jo Miskin said: “We’ve been working with a local historian over the last few months trying to find out more about what took place in this area in the last two centuries.
"As we’ve begun to piece things together, we thought it would be interesting to share what has been learnt.”
Local historian and tour leader Barry Harper said: “Evidence suggests that Sandwell Valley has been popular with people for almost 8,000 years, and today you can still evidence of people who lived here some 900 years ago.”
He added: “Thousands of people visit Sandwell Valley every year, but I’m sure very few realise just how important the site was to the development of the local area.

"This will be an opportunity to show people exact location of the birthplace of the borough of Sandwell.”

Cabinet member for highways and environment Councillor Maria Crompton said: "This will be a fascinating tour and should be a must for all local history buffs."
Anyone interested in attending should contact Sandwell Park Farm to book a place. Tickets for adults are £3.
