| | Willenhall |
 | | Portobello, a large and improving village, half a mile W of Willenhall, and Lane Head, about a mile N of the village, near the canal, are in this township, which also contains other populous hamlets. |
 | | The fact that Willenhall was known colloquially as ‘Humpshire’ is evidence, of course, of the toll that this took in causing deformity. |
 | | Today, Willenhall is still the most important lock making town in the country and has become home to many of the most famous names in the British lock making industry, including Josiah Parkes, Legge, Century Locks and Yale. |
