Sedgley

Sedgley is a suburban area in the north of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, considered a large village or small town, in the West Midlands county in England. Historically a part of Staffordshire, Sedgley is situated along the A459 road between Wolverhampton and Dudley, and was formerly the seat of an ancient manor comprising several smaller villages, including Gornal, Gospel End, Woodsetton, Ettingshall, Coseley, and Brierley (now called Bradley). In 1894, the manor was split to create the Sedgley and Coseley urban districts, the bulk of which were later merged into the Dudley County Borough in 1966. Since 1974 Sedgley has been a part of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough.
