Cross Keys pub (now a betting office). The higgledy-piggledy nature of street arrangement here (Lambert's End) still exists and reflects the haphazard development on the edge (end) of West Bromwich Heath before enclosure in 1801. Another can be seen in Old End, near Oak House (Barton Street)

Barton Street was originally called Old End, which was a settlement on the edge of West Bromwich Heath before enclosure in 1801. It threads its way towards Oak House and many of the old houses were cleared in the 1920's as part of slum clearance.



"Some clearance was carried out under the WestBromwich Corporation Act of 1913. (fn. 32) After thepassing of the 1919 Housing Act the corporation scheduled nearly 2,900 houses as unfit, but by 1933 only 346 had been demolished, chiefly in Barton Street (in the former Old End area) and Swan Village.
