Bloxwich history
Early history
Bloxwich has its origins at least as early as the Anglo-Saxon period. The place name evidence suggests it was a small Mercian settlement named after the family of Bloc. Some 19th-century works suggest at one time it was in the ancient manor of Wednesbury.
18th and 19th centuries
Bloxwich grew rapidly in the 18th century around coal mining, iron smelting and various manufacturing industries. Manufacturing in the area consisted of bridle bits, stirrups, keys, cabinet locks, plane irons, buckle tongues, chains and saddles.
20th and 21st centuries
Bloxwich was heavily developed between the wars for council housing. Most were constructed around Blakenall Heath, as well as Harden and Goscote. The Lower Farm, Beechdale and Mossley estates were also erected as council housing developments. In the 1990s and 2000s, many new housing developments have sprung up.
