Darlaston Green is an area of Darlaston in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in the West Midlands county of England.[1] It is located to the north of Darlaston town centre and borders the Walsall Canal, the area of Bentley, West Midlands, and the town of Willenhall. The area is also within proximity of Junction 10 of the M6 motorway at Walsall and the A454 road/Black County Route. The area is mostly a mix of residential and industrial.
A coal mine named Darlaston Green, at Darlaston, was included in an 1889 list of abandoned mines.[2] An 1872 publication listed the Darlaston Green works, owned by the Darlaston Steel and Iron Co. Ltd, as having firstly 38 puddling furnaces and eight rolling mills, and secondly three furnaces built and in blast.[3]
