Up on the roof

Getting away from the noise and the crowds in Walsall really doesn’t take much effort, just by climbing up a few stairs (15 flights and a ladder) you get uninterrupted views of green spaces and acres and acres of trees.

Getting up onto the giants of Walsall’s buildings really gives you a new perspective on just how our town is pieced together, from any one of the high-rise blocks you can see every other block and where it sits in relation to everything else.

Humphries House stands out in isolation generally towering over its little sister block, the white render on both reflecting the sun like one of Don Quixote’s Windmills, Lower Farms tower blocks are harder to spot and from Willenhall are barely visible other than the very top couple of floors.

From Birmingham to the South & Cannock to the North, every part of the borough is brought into view but you're so distant from it all at the same time.

Don't look down!

Do look out though.
