Cradley Heath
Cradley Heath is a small town and ward in the Rowley Regis location of the district of Sandwell, West Midlands, England. It exists within the Black Country, about 2 1/2 miles (4.0 km) south of Dudley and 8 miles (13 km) west of main Birmingham. Cradley Heath is often confused with adjoining Cradley in Halesowen, although both places have long been in different local authorities, and until 1966 were in different regions. Cradley Heath is among several towns in main England still recognisable from their early 20th-century look. Most of the stores and also houses in the High Street are still standing after 100 years, though some were destroyed in the mid-2000s to make way for a bypass, to alleviate congestion in the town centre.
