Sitting on the edge of the Black Country where the urban sprawl finally begins to give way to South Staffordshire’s green belt, Bloxwich still retains the layout of its village roots. It is defined by its long High Street and the open space of Bloxwich Park, while the northern end of town - known locally as Little Bloxwich - provides easy access to the canal network and the surrounding countryside. Historically, the area was world-renowned for its light metalwork, specifically the making of awls, needles, and bits and bridles for horses. Today, it remains a practical place to live, well-connected by two railway stations on the Chase Line providing direct links to Birmingham and Rugeley, and sitting just a few minutes’ drive from the M6 motorway. While it has grown considerably since its industrial peak, it keeps a distinct identity separate from nearby Walsall, anchored by the parish church of All Saints and a variety of traditional local shops that have served the community for generations.
