History of the Flag

The Black Country is a region that may be found in England’s West Midlands, to the north and west of Birmingham. With the introduction of coal mines, iron foundries, and steel mills, the area quickly gained prominence as one of the most industrialised in Britain during the era of the Industrial Revolution. The design of the flag was inspired by a remark made by Elihu Burritt, who served as the American Consul in Birmingham in 1862. As a result of the surrounding furnaces blowing smoke and dirt during the day and shining at night, he referred to the area as “black by day and red by night.”

Symbolic In Design and Colour

This flag is commonly flown on the 15th of July to celebrate Black Country Day. The colours black and red represent day and night, respectively. The flag’s background is consequently split between black and red, while the chains represent a characteristic regional export. The white circle in the middle depicts the glass cone, a symbol of the region’s glass-making history dating back to 1790.

The symbols the colours represent are:

  • Smoke produced in the day-Black
  • Smoke produced in the night-Red
  • Regional Export-Chains
  • The glass cone-White
