Old Hill history

Old Hill was historically in the urban district and later county borough of Rowley Regis, in the county of Staffordshire. However, local government reorganisation in 1966 saw it become part of the new County Borough of Warley, and transferred into Worcestershire. This arrangement lasted until 1974 when it became part of Sandwell in the newly-created West Midlands county.
