Halesowen East

Halesowen East sits on the eastern side of Halesowen in the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley. The ward mixes residential streets with local shops clustered around Market Street, where Halesowen market still operates through the week. The parish church of St John the Baptist stands close to the market and the older street pattern remains visible around the churchyard. Traces of the old Lapal Canal thread through parts of the area; volunteer groups work on short restored sections and towpaths that run beside housing and green corridors.

Community services are centred on the town centre and include Halesowen College and several primary and secondary schools serving the ward. Public green spaces and playing fields provide local recreation, while a range of shops, pubs and small businesses line the main thoroughfares. Regular bus services connect Halesowen East with Dudley, Stourbridge and Birmingham. Housing reflects phases of local growth, from Victorian terraces to post-war estates, and hints at the area’s industrial past within the borough.
