Welcome to Common People – a blog site for Pelsall.
This site will contain community news, special events, and will hopefully be a forum for villagers to make their views known about anything that affects Pelsall.
It will also cover news items that will be of interest to people in the village or may affect them.
Why is it called Common People? For no other reason than our three Commons are very special to us. It’s what makes Pelsall such a great place to live.

I have just learned that my great grandfather worked in the iron works and my grandfather was born in Pelsall – I had known of its existence until now – really pleased to find you have such a good site on Pelsall and the iron works.
Thank you! You may be interested in the Local History Centre, which has lots of information about the ironworks. If you walk over North Common you can still see a lot of industrial archaeology from that time,too.
