Haden Hill
Haden Hill is a residential area in the West Midlands of England, straddling the border of Halesowen and Cradley Heath townships and the modern boroughs of Dudley and Sandwell. Its most famous landmarks are Haden Hill Park and the historic Haden Hill House, both of which were constructed during the 19th century. The River Stour flows through Haden Hill, and formed the historic county boundary of Staffordshire (Cradley Heath) and Shropshire (Halesowen). The Halesowen side of the river later became part of Worcestershire, and in 1966 all of Haden Hill was moved into Worcestershire when the Staffordshire side of the river (originally in Rowley Regis Borough) became part of Warley County Borough. Since 1974, all of Haden Hill has existed within the West Midlands county, though it is still split over two different local authorities, with Halesowen now being part of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley and Cradley Heath being part of the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell.

Haden Hill House
Haden Hill Park is at Haden Hill, between Halesowen and Old Hill in the West Midlands, England, on the southern edge of the Black Country. Within its grounds are the sixteenth and seventeenth century ''Haden Hall'' (also known as ''Haden Hill Old Hall''), the Victorian ''Haden Hill House'' and Corngreaves Nature Reserve. The estate, of which the Park was a central part, was built up by the Haden family over many hundreds of years, before passing to the Barrs family by marriage in 1876. In 1877 it passed to George Alfred Haden Haden-Best (1839–1921) who built Haden Hill House and developed the parkland. On his death in 1921, it was bequeathed to his nephews, the Bassano brothers, who offered it for sale. It was bought by Rowley Regis Borough Council (later succeeded by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council) following a public subscription in 1922 and became a public facility. A major restoration programme over the period 2000–2007 was largely funded by the National Lottery. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rowley Regis
Rowley Regis ( ) is a town and former municipal borough in Sandwell in the county of the West Midlands, England. It encompasses the three Sandwell council wards of Blackheath, Cradley Heath and Old Hill, and Rowley. At the 2011 census, the combined population of these wards was 50,257. History The history of Rowley Regis can be traced back to the 12th century, when a small village grew around the parish church of St. Giles, southeast of Dudley. Rowley was part of the Royal hunting grounds - Regis was added to the name of Rowley in around 1140 to signify it was that part of Rowley belonging to the King. It began to develop substantially during the 19th century. In 1933, Rowley Regis became a borough, and incorporated the communities of Blackheath, Old Hill, and Cradley Heath. These places were all within the ancient parish of Rowley Regis, which (despite being in the county of Staffordshire) was in the diocese of Worcester. The parish contained the manors of Rowley Regis and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Areas Of Dudley
Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a region on the plane or on a curved surface. The area of a plane region or ''plane area'' refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina, while ''surface area'' refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat. It is the two-dimensional analogue of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept). The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares of a fixed size. In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of area is the square metre (written as m2), which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long. A shape with an area of three square metres would have the same area as three such squares. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was formed in 1966 by the combination of the existing county borough of Smethwick with the municipal boroughs of Oldbury and Rowley Regis, by recommendation of the Local Government Commission for England.
