Rushall

Rushall sits within the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in the West Midlands, to the north‑east of Walsall town centre. The area is largely residential, served by local shops, primary schools and a few community facilities along its main streets. Bus services link Rushall with Walsall and neighbouring settlements, and road connections provide access into the wider region. Everyday life is oriented around the village centre and the nearby local parks that offer walking routes and play areas for families.

The canal network runs through the locality, with the short Rushall Canal meeting the older Wyrley and Essington route and passing close to the set of locks known locally as Rushall Locks; towpaths here are used for walking and occasional fishing. Rushall’s past includes coal working and related industry, traces of which remain in building patterns and reclaimed green spaces. Community groups and small events take place through the year, often centred on the village hall and parish facilities that serve the immediate neighbourhood.
