Ladybridge — Views of the Rivers Tame and Anker

Highlight • River

Today's Ladybridge was built in 1797 after the flood of 1795 destroyed the old wooden bridge in 1294. The name "Ladybridge" comes from a statue of the Virgin Mary that was placed in the middle of the bridge.
From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the rivers Tame and Anker and their confluence.

Tamworth Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The building was built in 1701 to a design by William Gilkes and financed by Thomay Guy. The arcades on the ground floor were intended for holding markets and the first floor is supported by 18 Doric columns.
A sign was placed at the front reading “This hall was built at the expense of Thos. Guy Esq. “Anno MDCCI built” (1701).

Tamworth Motte and Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

The buildings visible today (previous wooden building) were built in the 11th and 12th centuries. Built by Normans and correspond to a typical Norman motte. Over the centuries, their owners enlarged them several times and added residential buildings.
After Windsor Castle, the Tamworth Motte is the second largest in England and one of the best preserved.
It is worth mentioning that William Turner painted a painting "Tamworth Castle" of the castle.

Sir Robert Peel Mural

Highlight • Monument

Nice street art, including works by Sir Robert Peel, under the bridge. Unfortunately "embellished" with graffiti.
