The station in 1962

Brownhills railway station was a station on the South Staffordshire Line in England. It was opened in 1849. The station was built and served by the South Staffordshire Railway, which later became London, Midland and Scottish Railway (through amalgamation of the London and North Western Railway).

Unlike Wednesbury and Great Bridge further up the line, this station was never assigned another name when a second station was opened by the Midland Railway.

It closed as part of the Beeching Axe in January 1965. Goods trains continued to pass through the site until March 1984, when the line was completely closed. The track was lifted in 1985.
