Beth's Arch is an eight metre tall sculpture of painted fabricated steel on the Black Country Route roundabout near the site of the former Bilston Steel Works.
The structure, made in 1995-1996 by Sarah Tombs, represents two figures emerging from the flames of industry linking arms to form an arch and is named Beths Arch after Elizabeth, one of the blast furnaces at the old steelworks at nearby Springvale.
There are nineteen Black Country Route sculptures by nineteen different artists. These varied works reflect both the areas heritage and its promise
