Some interesting info
about Dudley. Dudley is a large town in the West Midlands,
England. At the 2001 census (according to the Office of
National Statistics), the Dudley 'Urban Sub Area' (of the
West Midlands) had a population of 194,919, making it the
26th largest settlement in England and measured by Urban
Sub-Area, the second largest town in the United Kingdom,
behind Reading and the largest settlement in the UK without
its own university. (There are some who question this figure
since it can only be attained by including localities such
as Brierley Hill, Kingswinford, Netherton, Sedgley, and
Coseley, which are sometimes considered to be outside of the
town by local newspapers such as the Dudley News, local
historians and Dudley Council itself). Another estimate of
the population of Dudley Town may be taken from adding
together the populations of the three electoral wards that
indisputably belong to the town, namely: Castle and Priory,
St James's and St Thomas's. This would yield a population of
39,686. Since 1974 Dudley Town has been the administrative
centre of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Dudley; the
original County Borough had undergone a lesser expansion in
1966.
Dudley is part of the West Midlands conurbation, and is
located south of Wolverhampton. It is the largest town in
the Black Country. For many years the town (but not the
castle) formed part of an exclave of Worcestershire entirely
surrounded by Staffordshire - which has determined the fact
that, in ecclesiastical terms, it has remained part of the
Anglican Diocese of Worcester.
Localities of Dudley:-
Holly Hall - In the south-west of Dudley town, situated
around the road towards Brierley Hill and Stourbridge. Local
landmarks include Holly Hall School and Dudley Cemetery (the
resting place of local soccer legend Duncan Edwards).
Kates Hill - Situated on a hill to the east of the town
centre. Parliamentary soldiers fired cannons from Kates Hill
during the Civil War of 1648 in their attack on the Royalist
garrison at Dudley Castle. When the local area was developed
for housing some 200 years later, many of the local streets
took their names from Parliamentary figures. The parish
church and church school (though no longer in use as a
school) are about the only buildings left on Kates Hill from
this era, as many council houses were built between 1920 and
1980.
Netherton - Originally a village, but now more of a small
town, which has always been part of Dudley. It grew in size
during the Industrial Revolution, and 150 or so years later
it retains its Black Country character to a greater extent
than most other local towns.
Oakham - A suburban and mostly upmarket eastern area of the
town which has mostly been developed since the 1920s, and
part of which was absorbed into the County Borough of Warley
(now Sandwell) in 1966. Is home to Dudley Golf Course, which
since 1966 has actually existed beyond Dudley's boundaries.
Milking Bank - A modern private residential area which was
mostly developed in the 1980s on open land more than a mile
west of the town centre. Was further expanded in the mid to
late 1990s, mostly on land previous occupied by Burton Road
Hospital, this development being known as Earls Keep.
Russells Hall - Situated to the west of the town centre and
mostly developed between 1958 and 1966 for a mix of private
and council housing. Consists of one primary school and
three special schools, and since 1983 has been home to
Russells Hall Hospital.
Priory Estate - Situated beyond the ancient Priory Ruins to
the north of the town centre. Was developed in the 1930s
with a mixture of council houses to rehouse people from town
centre slums as well as a few streets of more desirable
private houses. Includes a public park, primary school,
shopping parade and public house. The north part of the
estate, consisting of 266 homes, is due to be demolished in
2009 and will be redeveloped with more than 300 new homes.
Woodsetton † - A village situated about two miles east of
Sedgley town centre near the border with Coseley, most
notable for Holdens Brewery that dates back to the 19th
century and is one of the local area's biggest and best
known brewers.
Woodside - Originally a separate manor from Dudley that also
bordered with Brierley Hill, but was merged into Dudley
towards the end of the 19th century as new developments
began along the Stourbridge Road. This is the place to be in
Dudley, and in this same area, it houses what was formerly
known as Highgate Primary School.
Wren's Nest Estate - Dominated by the huge hill of the
Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve that contains numerous
underground caverns as well as a huge collection of fossils,
which according to local legend "will never run out". The
rural land beneath the hill was developed for council
housing during the 1930s. By the 1980s, it was one of the
most rundown and deprived estates in the West Midlands, but
European Union funding in the early 1990s saw living
conditions improve and many of the area's other problems
solved.
Gornalwood † - A village in the Sedgley township which was a
largely rural area until the early 20th century, and has
retained much of its original character despite extensive
private and council housebuilding since the 1920s.
Lower Gornal † - Another village in the Sedgley township,
which is very similar to neighbouring Gornalwood and is very
difficult to differentiate from its close neighbour, with
the boundary between the two villages being very difficult
to determine.
Sedgley † - A town in its own right which is situated some
four miles north of Dudley in the direction of Wolverhampton.
Was originally a manor of villages, but developed into a
town between 1920 and 1970 following extensive housebuilding
in the private and public sectors.
Upper Gornal † - A village within the Sedgley township that
is situated around the main road between Dudley and
Wolverhampton. As with Lower Gornal and Gornal Wood, Upper
Gornal features a wide range of building types.
Brierley Hill † - Still regarded as a separate town, and
dominated by the Merry Hill Shopping Centre which was mostly
developed between 1985 and 1989. For some 150 years prior to
1982, the town was dominated by the Round Oak Steel Works,
which was situated on part of the site now occupied by Merry
Hill.
Coseley † - One of the local area's smaller towns, was
originally part of Sedgley before becoming a town in its own
right in 1897. Until its absorbment in Dudley nearly 70
years later, the town became increasingly more densely
developed for housing. Its industry has declined
considerably in recent decades, with the most recent major
loss being the huge Bean car component factory (once the
home of Bean Cars) which closed due to financial problems in
2005.
Kingswinford † - A suburban area of the borough which was
originally a parish in its own right until becoming part of
Brierley Hill and finally Dudley. Unlike many other towns in
the borough, it still has a very rural atmosphere despite
having been extensively developed for private housing since
the 1920s. Is now considered as one of the most desirable
residences in the Black Country.
Wall Heath † - A village within the Kingswinford suburban
area that is among the most popular and desirable
residential areas in the Black Country, and a sharp contrast
to many other parts of the borough. † = Areas added to
Dudley County Borough in 1966. Some of these areas were
split between Dudley and other County Boroughs. Those parts
within the present Metropolitan Borough of Dudley are
considered by the ONS to be part of the Dudley Urban
Sub-Area. |
