About Fencing in Cradley Heath

Cradley Heath was the centre of the nineteenth century chain making industry, one of five Black Country towns where 90 percent of England and Wales's chain workshops were once concentrated. Heavy chain was made by men in factories, while lighter chain was often made by women and children working from home in difficult conditions, a history now marked by the Black Country Living Museum's ongoing links to the craft. The town today is mostly residential, with a practical, working character reflecting its industrial past. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the B64 postcode area.

Types of Materials found in Cradley Heath

Cradley Heath sits on the South Staffordshire coalfield, where Coal Measures bedrock, historically rich in coal and ironstone, fuelled the chain making and metalworking industries that shaped the town. Above this bedrock, ground is generally a mix of Triassic sandstone on higher ground and heavier clay in lower lying areas. Given the density of small scale forges and workshops that once covered the town, some sites can have made up ground linked to this industrial past.
