About

Oldbury and the adjoining Rood End neighbourhood sit in Sandwell, in the West Midlands, with a mix of housing, local shops and small industrial sites that reflect the area’s working history. The town centre clusters around Oldbury High Street, where civic services, a library and market-style shopping serve nearby residents. Rood End is largely residential; Rood End Primary School on Rood End Road and a handful of community halls anchor everyday life, while short stretches of Victorian terraced housing run alongside more recent developments.

Local green spaces, allotments and pocket parks provide outdoor space between streets, and regular bus services link the area with neighbouring parts of Sandwell. Small manufacturing units and workshops still operate in pockets around the town, a reminder of Oldbury’s role in regional industry. Day-to-day activity is driven by schools, shops and community groups, and the pattern of streets and yards preserves a clear sense of the area’s industrial-era layout.
