Area summary
B71 covers the northern half of West Bromwich, including the Hawthorns area, parts of Hill Top and Charlemont Farm. The Hawthorns (the home of West Bromwich Albion FC) sits on the southern boundary with B70 and is a meaningful matchday economic factor. Housing is mixed: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the older streets, 1930s semis along the A4031 Newton Road, postwar council estates on the Charlemont Farm area, and pockets of newer development from the 1990s and 2000s.
The Hawthorns station sits on the Snow Hill line and provides interchange with the Midland Metro tram. Sandwell and Dudley station is in adjacent B70. The M5 at junction 1 sits to the east. Employment patterns are commuter into central Birmingham, Sandwell General Hospital and the M5 corridor warehousing.
Schools are Sandwell MBC maintained provision. Demographics skew towards working families with significant ethnic diversity.
Sandwell MBC operates additional HMO licensing in defined areas. The Renters' Rights Act 2026 has abolished Section 21 evictions. The proposed 2030 EPC C standard, if enacted, will be a substantial cost on the Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall stock.
