THE HISTORY OF OLDBURY (WHERE I LIVE), LANGLEY, AND WARLEY WHICH ARE THREE OF MANY COMMUNITIES IN THE WEST MIDLANDS.

History of Oldbury, Langley and Warley Communities of the West Midlands Around 1000AD , Oldbury, Langley and Warley were small hamlets in the northernmost part of the Manor of Hales in Worcestershire. With the arrival of the Normans in 1066, most of the manor of Halesowen was given by William I to Roger Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, and transferred to Shropshire, where most of his lands were held. About half of the lands of Warley, however, were granted to William FitzAnsculf, whose base was at Dudley, and this remained in Worcestershire (Warley Wigorn). The remainder of Warley (Warley Salop) went into Shropshire with the rest of the manor. Hales Manor  remained in the hands of Earl Roger's descendants until 1102, when Robert de Belesme led an unsuccessful rising against Henry I, and the manor was confiscated by the crown. In 1177, Henry II gave it to his brother-in-law, David ap Owen, Prince of Wales, and it became 'Hales Owen'....

PSALM 83.

Psalm 83 v 1   (A Song  or  Psalm of Asaph.)

Drugs On The Streets - Michael Rapha

Drugs On The Streets When street witnessing in the UK it is wise to be aware of the present drug situation. Frank (not real name) told me he picked up what he had been led to believe was an ordinary roll-up in McDonald’s. He took it back to his flat, took “just one pull” and for about five hours he kept falling over and trying to stand up. During this time he said his heart was pounding and he was coughing up white phlegm. Towards the end of the experience a Christian started praying for him and Frank said he was aware of what was been said in the prayer. It is quite probable that this roll up contained a  synthetic drug such as Spice or Mamba. These drugs were primarily discovered by John Huffman who was researching the impact of cannabis. Huffman synthesized a compound called JWH-018 in 1993 and published the formula in a series of papers and a book called “The Cannabinoid Receptors.” Spice was previously known as one of the so-called "legal highs", before being ...
