The Ancient and Royal town of Sutton Coldfield was once part of the Kingdom of Mercia and the first mention of Sutton Coldfield is in the Domesday Book. It earned its title of Royal manor in1489 and has remained so ever since. Throughout history there have been attempts to turn this rural town into something more industrial however these have generally failed, the closest that Sutton Coldfield came to being industrialised was in the 17th and 18th centuries when water power was the main source of energy. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution though more efficient power sources were being developed and because other towns nearby were able to take advantage of this Sutton Coldfield’s industry became uneconomic and the mills that briefly graced the area soon closed. Today Sutton Coldfield boasts the largest Local Authority Park in Sutton Park, protected as a park since a charter in 1528 and is in reality a remnant of the forest that once covered the Midlands, it is some 2,400 acres of parkland and lakes with the ancient Roman Ryknild Street running through it. In 1974 Sutton Coldfield was incorporated into Birmingham and there was a fear that the place would lose its identity, far from it though, today Sutton Coldfield retains a strong identity, it remains a residential suburb, with large areas of open countryside that enhance the area.
