Tamworth a Town With a Logistical Advantage

Where is Tamworth?

Tamworth was the capital of the Anglo Saxon Kingdom of Mercia. Today it is the second largest town in Staffordshire behind Stoke on Trent. Logistics is one of the town’s major industries. The kingdom of Mercia controlled about half of the country including the Wessex regions. The meeting point of two large rivers the Tame and Anker placed the old Tamworth at the centre of trade and industry. The same way its logistics industry does in today's modern world of IT (Information Technology). Tamworth the old seat of the Saxon Kings is now a market town that has always had a logistical advantage. In the middle ages the bridges over the rivers helped Tamworth retain its importance as a trade centre.
