Cradley Heath
Cradley Heath is a village as well as ward in the Rowley Regis area of the borough of Sandwell, West Midlands, England. It lies within the Black Country, about 2 1/2 miles (4.0 kilometres) south of Dudley as well as 8 miles (13 kilometres) west of main Birmingham. Cradley Heath is commonly confused with adjoining Cradley in Halesowen, although both locations have actually long been in separate regional authorities, and also up until 1966 were in different counties. Cradley Heath is one of several communities in main England still recognisable from their very early 20th-century appearance. Most of the shops and also homes in the High Street are still standing after 100 years, though some were destroyed in the mid-2000s to give way for a bypass, to alleviate congestion in the community centre.
