Gornal is a village and electoral ward [note 2][3] in the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, in the West Midlands of England.

Situated south of Sedgley on the main A459 road, the area has undergone extensive private and council housing development since the 1920s.

[7] Upper Gornal formerly had a small cinema, the Jack Darby Picture House, from the early 20th century, but it closed in 1960 due to competition from other nearby theatres.

[8] Also of note, the local landmark Pig on the Wall public house was controversially demolished in 2002 to make way for a McDonald's restaurant.

Local legend has it, that once, a military band marched through the suburb, and caused such great excitement amongst the residents, that not only did many people flock to see it, but one person even put his pig on the wall to afford the animal a better view.

[14] Gornal Wood is on the western boundary of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough, and contains a small shopping area, including a library.

It is the site of the Crooked House pub, a famous landmark known because of its distinctive appearance as a result of mining subsidence.
