About Brownhills - show info hide info

Brownhills is a small town in the West Midlands, lying on the ancient Watling Street. While the street is old, Brownhills itself is not; it did not exist until the 18th century. Brownhills grew rapidly around the coal mining industry, becoming a centre for the canal and railway networks. Brownhills was also home to the first fingerpost in the UK, which has since been relocated to the Earl of Lichfield's Shugborough House. The hamlets surrounding Brownhills which have been absorbed by the town hold more historical information. The hamlet of Ogley Hay is much older. In Saxon times, it was referred to as "Oogs's Leah" or Ocga Leah" (meaning "Ooga's wood"). This area of Brownhills was in AD 994 said to belong to the Wolverhampton Monastery, and it also receives a mention in the Domesday Book. During the 12th century Ogley Hay may have become the property of Walsall's Lord of the Manor. Upon the dissolution of the monasteries, Sir William Paget was given the lands by Henry VIII.
