Hi all; The main road that runs through Netherton is the Halesowen road, from the canal bridge (Bishtons bridge) heading north to Dudley was Danks boiler co. which span both sides of the road. Next to that was Noah Hingleys as Nigel has pointed out, directly over the road was Netherton goods yard where the Old worse & worse (Oxford, Worcester & Wolverhampton) railway ran, then it changed to Gods Wonderful Railway (Great Western Railway). Next to the goods yard was 2 coal pits belonging to Hingleys. As the road went up Netherton high street it met at the junction of Northfield road and it was here that the market place was held and where horses were requisitioned in WW1. A 100 or so yards on the left was Sweet Turf, originally pasture for cattle and so named as Nigel & Neville pointed out. Further along were the board schools and then the road came into Cinderbank, in a field on the left was Netherton Hall an old stately building and was used for storing of bodies in its latter days ! when cholera was rife in Dudley and they buried the bodies in St Andrews Netherton. Opposite was the earliest church in the Netherton area, the Baptist church knocked down a few years back now. The outer limits of Netherton was Peartree Lane & Park Head. Regards Mel
