Shropshire (Detached)
Between the late 11th Century and 1844; the English county of Shropshire (or Salop) possessed a large exclave within the present-day Black Country and surrounding area. This territory was gained from neighbouring Worcestershire and the exclaves border corresponded with the medieval Manor of Hala (or Halas, Hales). Shropshire (Detached) contained the townships of (what is now known as) Halesowen, plus Oldbury, Warley Salop, Ridgacre, Hunnington, Romsley and Langley. The exceptions were Cradley, Lutley and Warley Wigorn, which were exclaves or enclaves still aligned to the original county. Bounded entirely by Staffordshire and Worcestershire; Hala was part of Brimstree hundred, but totally detached from the rest of Shropshire. Bridgnorth; the nearest town within the main body of Shropshire i
