Advantages: Good public transport, town market Disadvantages: Very little leisure facilities, Standard night life
I moved to Walsall two and half years ago from a small village in Norfolk.
The change in culture and life style came as quite a shock to me as you can imagine.
Walsall at first to me seemed a hub of life and plenty to do, this was a novelty that soon wore off.
There is very little to do here, shopping is okay but due to the recent economic down turn the town has lost quite a few shops, compared to Wolverhampton or even the shopping parks located just outside the town the shopping experience in Walsall can be rated as adequate.

Local public houses and streets still honour Wolsey's name. (Unsurprisingly, there are few churches still remaining in the area that predate the Reformation - you can find one, St Georges, behind The Bear pub in Esher).
*The Palace:
There are a few entrances to Hampton Court palace, but the main one is the West Gate entrance (the Trophy Gate - added by William III 1689 - 1702), which leads visitors into the Outer Green Court (or Base Court as it also known) and then into the Clock Court: One is immediately struck by the grandeur of the palace, emphasised by the enormous Astronomical Clock (1540, Nicholas Oursian - Inventor of clocks for the King) that greets you - interestingly, the clock depicts the sun revolving around the earth, not a common place belief at the time of construction.
