Summary
| Description |
English: Aldridge was an ancient parish in the county of Staffordshire. The parish contained two townships - Aldridge and Great Barr. Aldridge became an Urban District in 1894. This merged with Brownhills in 1966 to form Aldridge-Brownhills UD, and then became part of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in 1974.
The Aldridge flag is based on the coat-of-arms of the former Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District Council which you can see here: https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Aldridge-Brownhills The image in the centre shield is a “Beacon Sable enflamed proper”. The beacon was used as a device by the former Aldridge UDC and may represent the nearby Barr Beacon. The colours are also taken from the coat-of-arms, and the green represents the extensive green belt while the yellow represents “the wealth, growth and vigour” of the district. |
