About

Brownhills is located in the north of the Walsall borough, bordering Staffordshire. The area is characterised by residential streets, local shopping parades along the High Street, and extensive green spaces. The landscape is largely defined by the Chasewater reservoir and country park to the east, which offers walking and cycling routes.

A prominent local landmark is the 40-foot concrete statue of a miner, known as 'The Jigger', which stands at the crossroads of the A5 and A452. The area's history is connected to the surrounding former coal mining lands, now largely reclaimed as nature reserves and part of the wider Forest of Walsall initiative.
