Tamworth Removals
Tamworth’s history dates as far back as the Anglo-Saxon period when the riverside town was the capital of the Mercia Kingdom. The town’s past is evident in its historic buildings including the magnificent Tamworth Castle which is one of the best examples of a Norman stronghold.
The Staffordshire market town is the second largest settlement in the county and has developed over the years as many are attracted by its property prices and transport links.
