I think that the description of Blackheat as a "suburb" of Rowley Regis is at least misleading and at most wrong.
It would be worth-while someone having a go at describing the exact realtionship between Rowley village and Blackheath town (for the unfamiliar, they are barely half a mile apart and you wouldn't be able to tell the join) but I can't put my finger on it. Cutler 22:26, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
I'm not very happy with these edits: Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Disuss. Cutler 10:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Agree with Cutler
Modern day Rowley Regis is seen as one of the six towns that make up Sandwell MBC - the others being Oldbury, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich.
Politically speaking the Wards which make up RR are:
Blackheath, Cradley Heath and Old Hill, Rowley and Tividale.
So these days Blackheath is seen in Rowley Regis.
Yes Blackheath is a town, so is Cradley Heath, Old Hill etc. These all make up one "Super Town" - Rowley Regis - which doesn't really have a centre like the other Sandwell towns - ie. you can easily refer to Oldbury town centre, West Brom town centre etc so it does seem a bit disjointed. To me the town centre of Rowley Regis would be Blackheath.
To me the boundary of Rowley and Blackheath is the Sir Ropert Peel public house - the pub and up the hill = Rowley, below the pub = Blackheath.
