About

New Dock & Eve Hill lies in the north of Dudley, centred around a historic canal basin. This area is defined by its industrial waterways, with the Dudley Canal and the now-infilled New Dock itself forming its core. The landscape is a mix of residential streets, commercial units, and green spaces that have reclaimed former industrial land. Transport routes, including the main A461 road, run through the area, connecting it to surrounding districts.

The residential parts consist largely of terraced housing and some modern developments. A key local feature is the entrance to the Dudley Canal Tunnel, a major inland waterway network extending deep underground. The area includes several public houses and community facilities, serving the immediate neighbourhood. Its identity remains closely linked to the canals that once drove its industrial activity.
