About

Bolehall sits on the eastern side of Tamworth, bordered by the River Anker to the north and the railway line to the south. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from different periods, including terraced homes and post-war estates. Its streets connect directly to the town centre, providing essential local amenities and green spaces like Bolehall Park for community use.

A notable local landmark is the Bolehall Swifts Football Club, which has been part of the area's community fabric for decades. The ward includes industrial and trading estates along its southern edges, contributing to local employment. The presence of the river and the open recreation grounds offers a distinct contrast to the more built-up residential streets nearby.
