Walsall, Metropolitan district in West Midlands, England.

The metropolitan borough of Walsall stretches across 41 square miles of urban, suburban, and semi-rural communities northwest of Birmingham.

The formation of Walsall as a metropolitan borough in April 1974 consolidated several industrial towns known for metalworking, saddlery, and coal mining.

The New Art Gallery Walsall exhibits collections from renowned artists, including permanent displays of works by Jacob Epstein and Claude Monet.

The borough connects to major cities through National Express West Midlands bus services and railway lines linking Walsall station to Birmingham.

Local manufacturing heritage spans from 14th-century metal processing to specialized industries like lock production in Willenhall and bolt making in Darlaston.
