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.
