Tividale

Template:GBmap Tividale village, in the parish of St Michael named after the church built there, was created in 1878 as an extension of the town of Tipton in the county of Staffordshire, England. It was originally set around the main Dudley to Oldbury road with several hundred terraced houses with shop fronts on the main road as well as many more on the side streets running off. But Tividale began to expand during the first half of the 20th century when Tipton Urban District/County Borough council built hundreds of council houses as well as thousands of privately owned houses being built in the area, stretching towards the border with Rowley Regis and Dudley.

The Netherton Tunnel runs under Tividale.

In 1966, Tipton became part of West Bromwich County Borough but Tividale was split between the boroughs of West Bromwich and Warley. Since 1974 it has been part of Sandwell Metropolitan Borough.

The most famous name in Tividale is Vono, a bed company which has made beds since 1896.

Tividale High School was built after the Second World War. It is a large school which started out as a secondary modern and is now a comprehensive school. In March 2003, BBC News online reported that the parent of a child at Tividale High was threatened with legal action after he created a website which highlighted the school's allegedly large problem with bullies and criticised the school's staff for not doing enough to solve the problems.
