Summary
| Description |
English: Amblecote was a township in the ancient parish of Oldswinford. While most of Oldswinford parish was in the county of Worcestershire, Amblecote was unusual in that it was in the county of Staffordshire. In 1845 Amblecote became a separate parish and in 1898 became an Urban District (at the time, the smallest Urban District in England). In 1966 Amblecote was divided between Brierley Hill and Stourbridge and in 1974 became part of Dudley Metropolitan Borough.
The flag represents the glass-making industry that was important in the village, while the Staffordshire knot recognises the area’s historic (and unusual) location within Staffordshire. The blue and white stripes are taken from the coat of arms of the Grey family of Enville, who used to own the manor. |
