Wikipedia Information      


Sedgley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


The Manor of Sedgley was originally a set of villages: Sedgley, Cotwall End, Upper Gornal, Lower Gornal, Gospel End, Gornalwood, Woodsetton, Ettinghsall, Coseley and Brierley.

In 1897, the villages of Coseley, Ettingshall and Brierley broke away from the Manor of Sedgley to form the Urban District Council of Coseley. At the same time, Sedgley Urban District Council was formed to include the rest of the manor.

Sedgley Urban District Council survived until 1966 when it became part of Dudley County Borough, which at the same time also took in the urban district councils of Coseley and Brierley Hill. Some parts of Coseley became part of Wolverhampton County Borough.

Sedgley really developed from a village into a town after the Second World War when thousands of residential and commercial properties were developed across the area. Most of the houses in Sedgley were built in the 1950's and 1960's.
