History
Black Country Day
Brickhouse Primary School is proud to be a part of the Black Country, an area of the West Midlands. It became industrialised during its role as one of the birth places of the Industrial Revolution across the English Midlands with coal mines, coking, iron foundries, glass factories, brickworks and steel mills, producing a high level of air pollution.
Each Year, on the 14th July we celebrate Black Country day, a chance to explore our unique dialect (Lenny Henry will demonstrate!) and what is the history of the Black Country.
