Cradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cradley is a small village in the "Black Country" of Worcestershire, near Halesowen and the banks of the river Stour. Cradley is less famous for coal mining than chain making, but between 1850 and 1950 the collieries were no less important than the chain works in the local economy and for the legacy they left.

It has more in common with its former county of Worcestershire than where it is geographically located, in the West Midlands conurbation.
