About

Brownhills is situated in the northeastern part of the Walsall borough, bordering Staffordshire. The area is characterised by a mix of residential housing, local retail centres, and green spaces like the large Brownhills Common. Its landscape is marked by the prominent presence of the former mining industry, with the landmark Jockey Haystock mound, created from spoil, offering views across the area.

The community is served by the High Street and the modern Tesco superstore complex. A notable local feature is the series of canals, including the Wyrley and Essington, which run through the ward, providing routes for walking and cycling. The area maintains a practical focus with essential services and community facilities centred around these waterways and the common land.
