About Brownhills
Brownhills is a former administrative centre in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall. It is 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast of the city, a similar distance southwest of Lichfield and 13 miles (20.9 km) north-northwest of Birmingham. The town grew around the coal-mining industry, especially after the canal and railway networks in the mid-19th century. Mining remained the town’s principal industry until the 1950s; the subsequent closure of the pits led to a severe economic decline.
