About Hamstead, West Midlands
Hamstead is an area straddling the border of Birmingham and Sandwell, England, and adjacent to the Sandwell Valley area of West Bromwich. Hamstead Colliery was worked from the 19th century to the 1960s, with much housing built for the miners. The River Tame enters Hamstead, and runs through the village before exiting into Perry Hall Park. After heavy rains it can overspill its banks, flooding the village.
