- Black_Country abstract "The Black Country is an area of the West Midlands conurbation in England, north and west of Birmingham and south and east of Wolverhampton. During the Industrial Revolution, it became one of the most industrialised parts of Britain with coal mines, coking, iron foundries and steel mills producing a high level of air pollution.The 14-mile road between Wolverhampton and Birmingham was being described as "one continuous town" as early as 1785, but the first trace of The Black Country as an expression dates from the 1840s and it is believed that it got its name because of black soot from heavy industries that covered the area.The Black Country can be roughly defined as encompassing the three Metropolitan Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall and is historically divided between the counties of Staffordshire and Worcestershire. It does not include Birmingham. A geological definition follows the South Staffordshire coal seam. Although this can be a narrow definition as it mainly excludes heavy industrialised areas which didnt have or had few mines but had lots of forges, iron and steel works and glass works etc which produced lots of polution and would otherwise fit the description and often mines to the far east and west etc had thick coal but required deeper pits as it was further down as with Oldbury, Smethwick and East West Bromwich and that often Black Country dialect, traditions and food is found outside the bentley fault lines and miners, industrial workers and their families often settled in former agricultural cleaner areas due to overcrowding and slum clearances.".
