It was a ordinary market town, it had the smells and some sights, a Norman Castle perched upon a hill overlooked the town, but one could tell that non that long ago this town was something more important than it was today.

The High Street is one long way with shops parallel to each other, but it lacked many designer high street shops it had a few, but not enough. Since a nearby shopping complex had opened no one wanted to go to Dudley anymore. So this l onely town was left with many pound and discount shops.
