Cradley Heath
Cradley Heath is a village and also ward in the Rowley Regis location of the borough of Sandwell, West Midlands, England. It exists within the Black Country, about 2 1/2 miles (4.0 kilometres) south of Dudley and also 8 miles (13 km) west of central Birmingham. Cradley Heath is frequently confused with neighbouring Cradley in Halesowen, although the two areas have actually long remained in different neighborhood authorities, as well as up until 1966 remained in different counties. Cradley Heath is just one of several communities in central England still recognisable from their very early 20th-century appearance. Many of the shops and also houses in the High Street are still standing after 100 years, though some were demolished in the mid-2000s to give way for a bypass, to ease congestion in the community centre.
