The messenger, Apr. 2015: p.2 (address: 155 Lichfield Road, Royal Sutton Coldfield, B74 2UU) Wikipedia, viewed 9 June 2015 (Sutton Coldfield; officially the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield; a town that forms a suburb in the city of Birmingham in the West Midlands of England; lies about 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Birmingham City Centre; historically in Warwickshire, it became part of Birmingham and the West Midlands metropolitan county in 1974; in 1528, a charter of King Henry VIII gave the town the right to be known for ever as "The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield"; this unreformed corporation survived until 1885, when it was replaced by a municipal borough; although the title "Royal Town" was still used, the municipality created in 1885 was not itself a Royal Borough; however, the town may still use its historic 'Royal' title after the success of a long campaign; on 12 June 2014 it was confirmed during a special adjournment debate in the House of Commons that 'no statutory ban' existed to prohibit the use of the Royal title, and that townsfolk could indeed use it in perpetuity) Collins Britain atlas and gazeteer, 1999 (Sutton Coldfield, W.Mid.; town, 7m/11km NE of Birmingham; former weaving town) Report on the health of the Borough of Sutton Coldfield, for the year ..., 1886 |
