Rowley Regis
Rowley Regis is a town in the Sandwell metropolitan borough of the West Midlands county, and a part of the Black Country in the United Kingdom. Being part of the Black Country, locals speak with the traditional dialect, though in a form which is regarded by many as the quickest and the hardest to understand.
History
The history of Rowley Regis began centuries when a small village grew around the parish church of St Giles approximately two miles south-east of Dudley. It began to develop as a town between the two world wars, when thousands of privately owned and local authority houses were built in the surrounding area. During that time, Rowley Regis became a borough and incorporated the neighbouring communities of Blackheath, Old Hill and Cradley Heath. These places were all within the ancient parish of Rowley Regis, which (despite being in the county of Staffordshire) was in the diocese of Worcester. The parish contained the manors of Rowley Regis and Rowley Somery, the latter being part of the barony of Dudley, but the extents of these manors and the relationship between them are not clear.
The village sits on Rowley Hill, which makes up part of the Rowley Hills famed for the quarrying of Rowley Rag Stone.
The present St Giles Church on Church Road is not the first church. It was designed by Holland W. Hobbiss and A. S. Dixon and was built in 1923.[1] The previous church, built in 1904, was burned down in 1913 by Suffragette's campaigning for the vote in extreme ways. Prior to that, the second church, built in 1840, was found to be unsafe and condemned in 1900.
In 1966, Rowley Regis borough merged with the borough of Oldbury and Smethwick county borough to form Warley County Borough and became part of Worcestershire. Eight years later, in 1974, on the formation of the West Midlands Metropolitan county, Warley merged with West Bromwich County Borough to form Sandwell Metropolitan Borough. It is now right in the core of the West Midlands conurbation.
Rowley Regis railway station opened in 1867 in the south of the then village, and remains in use to this day.
The town's grammar school was opened on Hawes Lane in September 1962. The school's well-known former pupils include Pete Williams (original bass player with Dexys Midnight Runners) and actress Josie (born Wendy) Lawrence. In 1974, when grammar and secondary modern schools were replaced with comprehensive schools in Sandwell, the grammar school became Rowley Regis Sixth Form College. The last intake of grammar school pupils having been inducted the previous year. In 2003, it became an annexe of Dudley College but this arrangement last just one year before the buildings fell into disuse. It was demolished three years later and the site is to be redeveloped as the new Rowley Learning Campus under Sandwell's Building Schools for the Future programme [2], comprising St Michael's Church of England High School A Business and Enterprise College, Westminster Special School and Whiteheath Education Centre, which is set to open in 2011.
