A brief History
A castle has stood in Dudley since the 8th century, the present castle dates from the 13th century, and provided the centre around which the town grew.

Growth of Dudley
Its population grew dramatically. The industries that complimented the growth of Dudley, are coal and limestone mining, iron, steel, engineering, metallurgy, glass cutting, textiles and leatherworking. The town industrialised rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries, and of historical significance, the first Newcomen steam engine was installed at the Conygree coalworks a mile east of Dudley Castle in 1712.

More than 2,000 houses were built during the 1930s. The first major council housing development was the Priory Estate, near the border of Sedgley. The Wrens Nest Estate followed soon afterwards.
Transport

The railway stations are all a kilometre or more from Dudley town centre; Tipton railway station-for local trains, Dudley Port railway station –for local trains, and Sandwell and Dudley railway station –for inter-city trains sometimes stop here.

The site of Dudley Station was redeveloped as a freightliner terminal which opened in 1967 and was an instant financial success. By the early 1980's it was one of the most profitable freightliner terminals in the country but Freightliner UK wanted to close it in a bid to improve the fortunes of the relatively ineffective Birmingham terminal. Freightliner UK granted the Dudley terminal a reprieve in 1983 but it was finally closed on 26th September 1989. It is expected to reopen by 2010 as an extension to the Midland Metro.
