== Detached ==
An [[exclave]], over 15 miles to the east of Bridgnorth (the nearest town within the main body of Shropshire), of the county exists largely in the urban [[Black Country]]. The land, which consisted of the medieval manor of Hala, was gained from neighbouring Worcestershire.
Within that exclave exist several [[enclaves]], including the settlements of Cradley and Lutley, which were still aligned with their original county Worcestershire. Warley is located partially within the exclave of Shropshire, and partially within an enclave of Worcestershire; the respective parts are historically referred to as Warley Salop and Warley Wigorn.
