Cassy, St Andrew, Netherton lies on the T junction of Hill st, High Bridge rd and Church rd on Netherton Hill. Created in 1827 as a chapel-of-east to St Thomas. I quote from Wlkipedia 'Netherton's parish church, St Andrew's, consecrated in 1830, is situated on Netherton Hill at the highest point in Netherton. It was originally just a chapel-at-ease to St Thomas's of Dudley, only becoming Netherton's parish church in 1844.[9] The church is surrounded by the gravestones of many of the former residents of the area. The churchyard also contains the mass unmarked graves of the victims of cholera that struck Dudley in 1831 and 1832.[10]' AZ reference is p 68 2d fro 1995 edition Am forwarding to you a jpg of a cholera poster advising all cholera burials must be in the churchyard Netherton. This was the 1830 outbreak when I believe St Peter, Derby End had not been created.
