Sedgley

Sedgley ward is a residential area situated on the northwestern edge of the Dudley metropolitan borough. It functions as a distinct town centre with its own high street and local services, separate from Dudley itself. The landscape is characterised by a mix of housing types, from Victorian terraces to post-war developments, set on the slopes rising from the surrounding valleys.

The ward includes the large, open green space of Sedgley Beacon, which offers expansive views across the West Midlands. This elevated common land is a defining local feature. The area is historically linked to limestone quarrying, and its built environment includes several traditional pubs and the historic Sedgley Manor Hotel, reflecting its established community character.
