Rowley Regis

Rowley Regis is a town in the Sandwell borough of the West Midlands county, and a part of the Black Country. It started life centuries ago as a small village which surrounded the parish church of St Giles. It began to develop as a town between the two world wars, when thousands of privately owned and local authority houses were built in the surrounding area. During that time, Rowley Regis expanded into Blackheath, Old Hill and Cradley Heath to create the County Borough of Rowley Regis. In 1966, Rowley Regis borough merged with Oldbury urban district Council and Smethwick county borough to form Warley County Borough. Eight years later in 1974, on the formation of the West Midlands Metropolitan county, Warley merged with West Bromwich County Borough to form Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. Rowley Regis was previously in the county of Staffordshire, but it is now right in the centre of the West Midlands conurbation.
