Tipton, Industrial town in Sandwell, England
Tipton spans across a network of canals and railway lines, connecting to neighboring towns Dudley, Wednesbury, and Bilston in the West Midlands region.
The town expanded rapidly after the discovery of ironstone and coal deposits in the 1770s, transforming from small hamlets into a manufacturing center.
The Tipton Sports Academy hosts numerous sporting events and serves as the home ground for Tipton Town Football Club in the West Midlands League.
Two railway stations, Tipton and Dudley Port, provide direct connections to Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and other West Midlands destinations.
In 1712, engineer James Watt constructed his first steam engine in Tipton, marking a crucial development in industrial technology.
