About

Netherton sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in the West Midlands, just north of Dudley town centre. The area is primarily residential, with terraces and post-war housing alongside local shopping parades, primary schools and a community centre. Canals and old industrial lines shape parts of the street pattern, and small recreation grounds and playing fields provide open space for residents. Local bus routes link Netherton with the rest of the borough and services such as a health centre and library serve the neighbourhood.

The canal network remains a visible feature of the area. In one part of Netherton, a cluster of interlinked pools and short canal arms known locally as Bumble Hole sits beside towpaths used by walkers and anglers, and historic brickwork from 19th‑century drainage and basin works can be seen at water edges. Community groups run activities from the centre and schools, and the combination of waterways, allotments and pocket parks gives the area a pattern of built and green spaces shaped by its industrial past.
