Black Country Society
That area of South Staffordshire and North Worcestershire (excluding Birmingham) which was on the famous 30 foot seam of coal. By 1860, within 5 miles of Dudley there were 441 pits, 181 blast furnaces, 118 iron works, 79 rolling mills and 1500 puddling furnaces, all pouring out smoke. This led to the region being described as black by day and red by night.
