Netherton is a significant part of the Black Country in the West Midlands and has a proud industrial history closely linked to iron processing and mining. A defining element of the landscape is the Dudley Canal, which runs through the area and was once a critical transport route for the raw materials of the industrial revolution. Today, Netherton presents itself as a residential suburb that nevertheless retains many historical signs of its era as an industrial site. The community has transformed, but has good connectivity due to its proximity to Dudley and Birmingham. The architecture reflects a mix of Victorian houses and more recent developments. Netherton is proud of its local identity within the wider urban fabric of the Black Country and functions today as a quieter place of residence, yet still provides access to the economic opportunities of the surrounding conurbation.
