County Borough Of Warley
Warley was a county borough and civil parish forming part of the West Midlands conurbation, England, and geographical county of Worcestershire. It was formed in 1966 by the combination of the existing county borough of Smethwick with the municipal boroughs of Oldbury and Rowley Regis (along with small sections of Birmingham, Dudley, Tipton, West Bromwich and Halesowen as well as an unpopulated fragment of Brierley Hill), by recommendation of the Local Government Commission for England. It was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, with its area passing to the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell.

Famous quotes containing the word county:
“I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.”
—Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
