City (pop., 1998 est.: 311,500), West Midlands , England.
It is the site of several Saxon and Norman fortifications. Coal and ironstone have been mined there since the Middle Ages. By the mid-19th century there were numerous blast furnaces, and the resultant pollution helped to give the area to the north and east the name "Black Country." Metalworking is an important industry.
