windmill end is part of darby end in Netherton,  Worcs, it lies beside the main canal between Netherton and Dudley, and used to be a mining area, but now is a protected area for history and wildlife. glen


windmill end is netherton dudley, and windmill hill is about a mile up the road in a town called colley gate, and i hate to dissapoint but we have no windmills, both are from the famous black country where it was all mining and chain making.

I have family who also came from lye waste.
the town lye lies on the main road between birmingham and stourbridge in the west mids.  it is now an highly asian populated town, and the high street is mainly indian restraunts.  i have read a bit about the origin and it was first populated by gypies and refugees in the 1600's.

just looked on google maps, i told you i was no good on street names, any way it is about 3 streets from where i live, and the street is definatley still there.  the houses are all still in good condition, and if they are the same houses they would of been new, unless she lived on the oppersite side where there are a row of little massonettes (sp) where mainly elderly people seem to live.

I live in the area of Darby end.
it is netherton, dudley west midlands.
the postal area is dy2.
It is a residential area, a few churches, local shops, school, the usual.
Its main attraction in the canal that runs through it where we have a local boat show every year.
I dont know the street in question, but im not too good on street names.

Best of luck.
