Coal extracted from Kingsbury Colliery was used mainly for industry in nearby Birmingham, although the Lurghi Gas Plant at Coleshill was also a major customer.
The colliery operated throughout the first half of the 20th century, and in 1904 the village of Piccadilly was built close by to house some of the mine's workers.
The centrepiece of the wall is a miner's lamp that is always lit to commemorate those who have died and those who remember working down the mines.
Notable people who have worked at the colliery include the footballer Sid Ireland.
