Walsall was a rural district in Staffordshire, England from 1894 to 1934. It was created by the Local Government Act 1894 based on Walsall rural sanitary district, and included the five parishes of Aldridge, Bentley, Great Barr, Pelsall and Rushall. Four of these parishes were to the east of Walsall, and Bentley was to the west, forming an exclave. It was subject to increased urban development in the early 20th century and was abolished in 1934 under a County Review Order. The parish of Bentley was split between the urban district of Darlaston and the parish of Short Heath (which itself was becoming part of the Willenhall urban district), while the rest of the rural district became the Aldridge urban district, and since 1974 has formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in the metropolitan county of West Midlands.

Aldridge Transport Museum, home to the Aston Manor Road Transport Museum's collection of vehicles is an independent transport museum in Aldridge, Walsall, England. Until December 2011 the museum occupied the former Birmingham Corporation Tramways Witton Tram Depot, in the Aston district of Birmingham, run by a registered charity. The museum hosted the 40th birthday party of Charles, Prince of Wales, on 14 November 1988, when he formally opened the museum. Following a decision by Birmingham City Council to cease funding the rent on the Witton Tram Depot, it closed in October 2011. Between then and December that year, the collection was moved to the Beecham Business Park, home to the former Jack Allen dustcart assembly plant, in nearby Aldridge. Subsequently the museum moved again, this time a short distance within Aldridge, to its present location in Shenstone Drive, Aldridge, where it opened to the public in July 2013. Since reopening, the museum has retained its bus collection but also added an increased number of light commercial vehicles on display. The museum, which is operated entirely by volunteers, is open on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 to 16:00 throughout the year excluding the Christmas Holiday period. On a number of weekends throughout the year there are special events with a free bus service from Walsall (Hatherton Street) to the museum and back using classic buses. The museum's Classic buses also run free of charge on certain event days to the Chasewater Railway, Lichfield, and around Barr Beacon. The vehicles displayed in the museum are changed over with those which are in safe storeage off site giving variety to the exhibits on display at any one time.

Barr Beacon Reservoir is a covered, hill-top drinking water reservoir at Barr Beacon, Walsall, England, opened in 1899. It is operated by South Staffs Water.One of the uses of the reservoir is to transfer water from the company's works at Hampton Loade, on the River Severn, to Burton upon Trent. Water is pumped uphill from the Sedgley Beacon Reservoirs, which receive water from Hampton Loade, through 45-inch (110 cm) mains to Barr Beacon Reservoir via West Bromwich Booster. A 36-inch (91 cm) main then carries water by gravity via Seedy Mill works to Burton on Trent.The water company also operates a weather station, one of several in its network, at the reservoir, to monitor temperature, hours of sunshine, and rainfall.The reservoir was re-roofed in 1969, temporarily exposing the brick arches which support the roof.In August 2013, Severn Trent Water launched a £2 million project to build a 2 1/2 mile pipeline linking their Perry Barr Reservoir to Barr Beacon Reservoir, to allow for the exchange of water in emergencies such as severe droughts.

Clayhanger is a residential area of Brownhills, West Midlands, England. It is located in the north of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, approximately five miles north of Walsall in an area which was part of Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District until 1974. Many of the houses in the area are privately owned and were built from 1995 to 2005 with the sale of various farm land at opposite sides of the village. For instance, the 'Swingbridge Park' development built by Maunders (then Westbury following the purchase of the former) was built on Victorian Foot & Mouth burial grounds. The same development promised a public house on the former Swingbridge Farm site on Northfields Way, but the project was never delivered when initially given planning permission, then later applications were denied. The village remains 'dry' and without any public house. Clayhanger is locally infamous for being an island - you cannot get in or out without crossing water. The village historically was also subject to flooding, especially the old railway line. The new developments have put a stop to this. The village is only accessible from two entrance points one via Bridge Street, named for the old railway bridge that passed over the main road just by the now painted 'spot' traffic island, and via Clayhanger Lane, that still has the Railway bridge that was one part of the South Staffordshire Line. The line itself is now used for walkers & cyclists. The Bridge Street entrance is also home to Clayhanger Common. The common was originally home to a council run waste disposal site from the 1950s up until the early 1980s. This has a bad effect on the village to the point in 1975 residents were given rate reductions as compensation. The average house price in the Village was £177,400 as of June 2014 However, houses each side of the Ford Brook are of different ages. Clayhanger did not receive a dedicated bus service until 1986. The service remains indifferent at best today. Clayhanger remains the home of Edmund Howdle Butchers, a long established traditional family Butchers. It also enjoys a Co-Operative mini-market along with independent traders Alpha Hair Design, Clayhanger Fish & Chips & The New Jade Garden Chinese takeaway. These were built on the site of a derelict former factory on Clayhanger Lane. Holy Trinity C of E School, for children up to year 6 (age 11) continues to operate on Church Street. In November 2016 Northfields Way was finally closed by Walsall MBC at the junction of Allerdale Road to stop anti-social behaviour. "Clayhanger" was mentioned in the lands of the Earl of Stafford in 1391
