Coseley was originally part of the manor of Sedgley,
until 1867, when it joined Brierley and Ettingshall to
form Lower Sedgley Local Board District. In 1875 the
Coseley Local Board District was formed, which in 1895
became Coseley Urban District. In 1966 the Urban
District was divided between Dudley, Wolverhampton and
West Bromwich (now part of Sandwell).
Castle Street.
The area greatly changed as a result of intense coal
mining and the development of industry, much of which
has now gone. Most of the area is now occupied by
housing, parks and a selection of local shops. It is now
a popular place to live, houses are much sought after.
This section is
dedicated to my late friend, Ken Harper, who lived
with his family in Coseley for many years. He was proud of Coseley and
greatly enjoyed his time
there.
