About Fencing in Oldbury
Oldbury sits in the Black Country, its history built on chemical manufacturing and metalworking, industries that shaped the town through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries alongside the wider Sandwell area. The town centre retains a practical, working character, with the Titford Canal and other waterways once vital to moving raw materials still running through the area. Housing spreads out from the centre through a mix of older terraces and more recent estates towards the edge of the borough.

Types of Materials found in Oldbury
Oldbury sits on the South Staffordshire coalfield, where Coal Measures bedrock lies beneath much of the town, historically mined alongside the ironstone and clay that supported the area's chemical and metalworking industries. Above this bedrock, ground is generally a mix of Triassic sandstone on higher ground and heavier clay in lower lying areas. Given the scale of past chemical and industrial use in Oldbury, some sites can have made up or disturbed ground worth flagging to your installer.
