Geology of Walsall

"The geology of Walsall is dominated by middle and upper coal measures and Silurian limestone overlain in the main by boulder clay and some alluvial deposits. This geology extends across the borough to the Vigo fault which lies to the east of the borough running north to south from Brownhills through Aldridge. To the east of this fault lie Triassic sandstones overlain in some isolated parts by boulder clay and stratified sands and gravel. "
