Londonderry doesn't give up much about itself at first glance — no headline crime figures, no ready-made house price to anchor against, no named school or station to point to. What's there is the frame around it: this is a corner of Sandwell, in the West Midlands, sitting inside a metropolitan district where the typical home sells for around £210,000, well under the national median of £281,000. That alone tells you the story of this part of the Black Country — a place shaped by more affordable housing and a market that hasn't chased the national curve. Beyond that parent-level context, there isn't enough here to sketch the streets themselves, the schools, the parks, or the daily rhythm with any honesty. I'd rather leave it there than guess at a character I can't see in the numbers.
