You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:The Tilted Barrel Public House, High St, Princes End - geograph.org.uk - 299980.jpg|thumb|The Tilted Barrel public house]]
'''Princes End''' is an area of [[Tipton]], [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]], [[England]], near the border with [[Coseley]] (of which approximately half of the area was part of until 1966), which was heavily developed during the 19th century with the construction of factories. The population of the Sandwell ward taken at the [[United Kingdom Census 2011|2011 census]] was 12,981.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=13689779&c=Princes+End&d=14&e=62&g=6366470&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1450452734891&enc=1|title=Sandwell Ward population 2011|accessdate=18 December 2015))</ref>  Several hundred terraced houses were built around the same time to accommodate the factory workers.  Many council houses were built in the area between 1920 and 1980, as well as many private houses.

==Neighbourhood==
The centre of Princes End is situated on the A4037 Dudley - Wednesbury main road. It includes  shops, flats and houses.

The established residential area of the Tibbington Estate and Ocker Hill area including the Glebefields Estate and Moat Farm Estates "Lost City" are part of Princes End Ward for Voting purposes only but not actually in Princes End itself.

Wednesbury Oak, originally a small settlement on the main road leading towards [[Wednesbury]] and [[Walsall]], was expanded in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of a large private housing estate, which was originally in the Urban District of Coseley.

==Railway==
Princes End had two railway stations, but neither are in existence now. One was [[Princes End and Coseley railway station]], which was situated on the line between [[Dudley]] and [[Bilston]]. It closed in 1962 under the [[Beeching Axe]] and by the end of the 1960s the line was in total disuse.

The other station, [[Princes End railway station]], closed in 1916 under a wartime economy measure, although the line - which ran to [[Wednesbury]] - remained open to goods trains until 1981, with the final stub leading up to Ocker Hill Power Station remaining open until 1991.

The former section of line between Princes End and Ocker Hill also marks the divide between Princes End and The Tibbington Estate, The Glebefields Estate and Moat Farm Estates "LOST CITY" That come under Ocker Hill and was converted into a public walkway at the end of the 1980s.

==Industry==
Bloomfield Road has been home to the [[Angle Ring]] factory since 1951. The factory's buildings and land have been gradually expanded over the years, taking over a section of the [[Dudley]] to [[Bilston]] railway which closed in 1968. Opposite the Angle Ring factory stood the British Rolling Mills, which opened in the 19th century and remained in use until 2005 as part of [[Brymill]]. The buildings, including the offices and laboratories built in 1959, were demolished in the autumn of 2006 and gave way to housing. However, one of the more modern Brymill factory and office units still stands and although currently disused, has been retained for eventual sale due to its age.

==Bloomfield Infants School==
Bloomfield Infants School was opened on Bloomfield Road in 1873, later becoming an annexe of Princes End Infants School. However, it closed in July 1967 after 94 years in use as a school and was briefly annexed into Princes End Infants School, but this was short-lived and the building was closed in the early 1970s and demolished a short time afterwards. The site of the school is now a scrapyard, which expanded in 2000 when the neighbouring Kings Arms public house (closed in the mid 1990s) was demolished.<ref>((cite web |url=http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/GB146_ES-TB/ |title=Black Country History |website=blackcountryhistory.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812130410/http://blackcountryhistory.org/collections/getrecord/GB146_ES-TB/ |archive-date=2011-08-12)) </ref>

==Unemployment==
In the 2001 census, it was revealed that 10.9% of economically active people in Princes End were unemployed - more than double the national average at the time. The figure rose substantially after 2007 due to the [[Late 2000s recession]], but was falling by 2015 as the economic recovery accelerated.<ref>((cite web |url=http://cmis.sandwell.gov.uk/CMISWebPublic/Binary.ashx?Document=32712 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-07-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725174840/http://cmis.sandwell.gov.uk/CMISWebPublic/Binary.ashx?Document=32712 |archivedate=2011-07-25 ))</ref>((failed verification|date=February 2018))

==Boundary changes==
Although the bulk of Princes End was situated within the Tipton borders, until 1966 a significant percentage of the area formed part of [[Coseley]] urban district council until 1966, when the borders were rationalised and the whole area became part of [[West Bromwich]] borough (which most of Tipton had become part of) and from 1974 [[Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell|Sandwell]], which was formed by a merger of West Bromwich and [[County Borough of Warley|Warley]]. The historic boundary of Coseley and Tipton had seen at least one building in Princes End being divided between the two towns.
