This photograph was taken prior to the demolition of the buildings belonging to Cradley Castings. The brown River Stour formed the divide between Cradley Heath in Staffordshire to the north and Cradley in Worcestershire to the south. Today, it still acts as the boundary between the boroughs of Sandwell and Dudley.
