It has yes, the old Ford factory is now churning out Evoques and Discos. The borough of Halton seems to be widening its split, with investment going to the Widnes side of the Mersey and Runcorn being left to wither away. My family all moved out to the sticks in rural cheshire thankfully when they could. But it is sad when you see a once vibrant market town from my youth reduced to a shuttered wasteland. I witnessed the current vibe at 9am one morning when people were queuing up to get into "the Wine Bar" Utterly vile and depressing in equal measure. The picture below from GE shows what it is like now, in the 80's as a kid this would be heaving with people, with great shops and bustle.

If my town was Dudley, Netherton, Willenhall or one of several other Black Country towns it would almost certainly be using this new beauty

Celebrating centuries (they say) of chainmaking, glassmaking and other dark satanic processes

I quite like it

But Brum has its own coat of arms so it will have Arm and Hammer details near a Union Flag and motto Forward

Probably have 'field rouge' 'cos the commies own us now

Could almost be the Brighton one. A bit of Cnd oing on, change the colours to different shades of green and just leave the goatsee as it is.
