Netherton, West Midlands history
Early history
Netherton means ‘lower farm’ in Old English. For most of its history, it was a small village centred around the point where a brook crossed the Baptist End Road. The village was included in the Manor of Dudley, a Lordship of the Barons of Dudley who once owned a manor house in the area.
Industrial Age
Netherton expanded rapidly in the industrial age and the thick seams of coal underlying the region were extensively mined. Blast furnaces were constructed in for iron making and the area became home to many industries including chain making, anchor making, nail making, brick making, enamelling, and the construction of boilers. In the mid-19th century, the area was notorious for its bad sanitary conditions.
Modern history
Dudley Council sought to redevelop areas of Netherton for housing. Some of the first council houses were constructed around Netherton Park in the early 1920s. Other former industrial sites were transformed into parkland or nature reserves.
