	DudleyMall - Dudley Castle - Brief History
		The Suttons took on Dudley as an additional surname, and as it was common for those who worked for the local lord to use his name for themselves, the spread of Dudley as a surname commences from this period.
		John Dudley (another member of the family who was keen to have the castle himself) connived to assist his downfall and had succeeded by the 1530s.
		While the town of Dudley may not have staunchly espoused one side or the other, the new Earl had given King Charles I considerable support and the castle itself was held by royalists.

		Dudley Tunnel is officially open and thousands of sight seers enter the tunnel every year on trip boats from the Black Country Museum.

	Lord Dudley and the Black Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The proportion allocated to Lord Dudley for loss of rights of common as a property owner was increased by compensation made to him as infringement of his rights as Lord of the Manor.
		It is probably no coincidence that, as the Dudley canal passed through Lord Dudley's largest colliery at this time, which was situated at the Level, coal passing along the Stourbridge Canal from the Dudley canal was to be transported at the rate of 3d per ton.
		As such John, Second Viscount Dudley and Ward played as important a role in the making of the Black Country as John Wilkinson and James Watt, and established a family link with the area, which persisted until the recent death of the late Earl.

		The western end of the Dudley Canal Tunnel is in an area known as Parkhead, and the locks on the Dudley Canal at this point are known as the Parkhead Locks.
		To reach Dudley itself was impossible as it sat on top of a hill, but the canal promoters hoped to burrow beneath the area and gain access to the Birmingham Canal Navigations at Tipton.
		As soon as the tunnel was completed, the canal company further developed the basin as a junction and began building their second line to Selly Oak.

		The Dudley Canal and the Dudley Tunnel opened up more of the area in the 1790's providing new routes into Birmingham and the rest of the Midlands.
		Once the Black Country canal network began to be created it was only natural for industry to wane at Coal-brookdale and take root in the Black Country where mineral resources were more abundant, more easily worked, and a transport infrastructure was beginning to reflect the needs of industry.
		In 1827 James Foster of' John Bradley and Co', the Iron-masters from Stourbridge, and Lord Dudley, (The Fourth Viscount Dudley and Ward) agreed to build a railway from Ashwood Basin, on the Staffs and Worcs Canal, to Shut End on Pensnett Chase.

	Yampy Gornal Dudley Black Country West Midlands History - Was a road tunnel the answer to Gornal traffic problems?
		Four years later, in July 1985, an ambitious and imaginative solution was tabled; a "super tunnel" literally underneath Gornal (yes, we know it sounds like another Yampy April Fool!).
		Immediately, a well organised anti-tunnel campaign began amongst the Gornal population, and pressure was applied to the Labour opposition group to fight the controlling Tories, in a finely balanced Council chamber.
		But we can't help wondering whether some of the same people who fought against the tunnel in 1985 are now complaining about the volume of traffic through Gornal.
