Transport links
There is a regular bus service between Walsall and Lichfield via Aldridge and Rushall.[7] The South Staffordshire line ran directly west of Muckley Corner. Hammerwich Station was only under a mile down what is now, Marebath Lane. The station was closer to Muckley Corner than Hammerwich itself. It closed in 1965 and the line closed in 1984 to Walsall but a stub from Brownhills to Lichfield via Hammerwich remained in use passing by Muckley Corner. This served an oil terminal until 2002 when the line was mothballed following the closure of the oil terminal.[8]
