Open Homes workspaceAbout Dudley
Dudley is often called the 'capital of the Black Country', a town whose limestone, coal and ironstone helped power the Industrial Revolution. Its Norman castle ruins now stand within Dudley Zoo, and the Black Country Living Museum recreates the region's industrial past with historic buildings, canals and costumed characters. Geologists prize the local 'Dudley Bug' trilobite fossils. With affordable housing and Metro links, Dudley has a value-focused rental market in the West Midlands.
