About

Princes End is situated in the far north of the Sandwell borough, bordering Walsall. The area is primarily residential, characterised by terraced housing and some post-war estates. The landscape is defined by the Tame Valley Canal, which runs through its western edge, and the open green spaces of Sheepwash Urban Park and Local Nature Reserve, which provide a contrast to the built environment.

A significant local landmark is the former Tipton Five Ways railway station, a reminder of the area's industrial past. Princes End is directly adjacent to the extensive factories and logistics parks of the Tame Valley, which influence the local economy. The ward includes the Tipton Green district and is connected by several main roads, including the A461.
