About Sedgley
Sedgley is a small urban town in Dudley, West Midlands larger than a village but smaller than a city. Historically Sedgley fell in the county of Staffordshire and was formerly an ancient manor made up of several smaller villages before the Sedgley Urban District was formed in 1894.
Sedgley has never had a rail or canal link due to its hilly geography, but travel is not hindered as it is served by bus routes to nearby areas including Wolverhampton, Dudley, Bilston and Tipton.
Sedgley has some coal and fire-clay mining and engineering, but is mainly a residential area.
