Location

Cradley Heath lies to the North of Halesowen and falls within the boundaries of Sandwell Borough Council. As the name suggests it was originally Heathland between Cradley, Netherton and Old Hill. During the early 19th century a number of cottages were built encroaching onto the heath along the banks of the River Stour, mainly occupied by home industries such as nail making. During the industrial revolution Cradley Heath developed and became famous not only for nails but was once known as the world centre of chain making. It was the birthplace for the Black Country Bugle and is thought to be the historic home of the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. The property is situated in the Haden Hill area of Cradley Heath which is nearer to Halesowen than Cradley Heath, this area is fairly affluent and has mainly larger traditional properties. Cradley Heath has its own Train Station which provides links to Birmingham and to Worcester, alongside a bus interchange just outside of station. It is only a few minutes drive from the large Merry Hill shopping centre. On its doorstep is Haden Hill Park, a historical Victorian landscape with a Victorian Mansion and Tudor Hall. The landscape offers stunning views of the surrounding area. The park is a popular venue for historical local events and environmental activities. It has children s play areas, bowling greens, ornamental lakes and formal garden areas. It is also said that the hall is haunted.
