Sedgley Urban District

By 1966, the district had developed into a town[citation needed] due to extensive housebuilding (private and council) since 1920, and was dissolved to be absorbed into three neighbouring authorities.The introduction of post code districts locally in 1966 also means that much of Woodsetton now has a Dudley DY1 post code rather than Sedgley DY3, although Gospel End comes within the DY3 postal district – as do the villages of Himley and Swindon, which were never within the same local authority at Sedgley and are no longer even in the same county.Roberts Street Schools were built in Upper Gornal in 1894 – the year the Urban District Council was formed.Sedgley UDC also had plans to build a new primary school to serve the new Straits Estate, and these became reality when Straits Primary School opened in 1968, by which time the UDC had been absorbed into an expanded County Borough of Dudley.The 19th century buildings of Sedgley's only Roman Catholic school, St Chad's, were gradually replaced between 1957 and 1969.
