Check out the Wikipedia page about the Black Country. Here is another quotation which still stands true today: A source of local pride is that the anchors and the chains for the Titanic were made in the area, possibly the only thing on the ship that can't be blamed for its sinking. More recently, the traditional industries have declined and it's seen as an example of an area in need of investment.
