Walmley is a suburban village situated in the civil parish of Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.

It lies within the City of Birmingham on its northeastern outer fringe, where it forms part of the Sutton Walmley and Minworth electoral ward.

It is in southern Sutton Coldfield, close to Minworth, Erdington, Wylde Green, Pype Hayes and south of Thimble End.

[2] John Vesey, Bishop of Exeter, played a small role in Walmley's early development through the construction of several buildings in the area.

These were some of 51 stone cottages built by the Bishop who was concerned with the deteriorating state of Sutton Coldfield as a whole.

New homes were also constructed along the Walmley Road and Penns Lane as a result of ribbon development.

[2] After World War II, Walmley was transformed into a 'boom suburb' through the construction of new housing estates.

[6] Information from the 1991 national census published in the plan shows the town's population had, by then, risen rapidly to a total of 17,294.

To the west of Walmley is the Wylde Green and Erdington areas, to which Walmley is connected by a road running through the New Hall Valley, which features the New Hall Valley Country Park and the Plantsbrook Local Nature Reserve.

[7] Plants Brook (originally known as Ebrook) flows from the west of Walmley to the south of the area.

Walmley is a reasonably affluent suburb, containing many large detached and semi-detached houses, and despite large-scale residential development in the post-war period, it retains a distinct identity from other local areas.

The main shopping parade, Walmley Village, was refurbished in 2004 in line with Birmingham City Council's "Walmley Village Local Action Plan", with new paving surfaces, car parking spaces, and a 20 mph (32 km/h) through road speed limit.

The main pub in Walmley is "The Fox Inn", which has been serving the area for a long time.

St Johns Church, built in 1845 to a design by D. R. Hill, is located on Walmley Road and is constructed of Staffordshire blue brick.

[4] Located in front of the buildings at the junction was a war memorial which was funded by public subscription.

A popular local landmark was Walmley House, which was built in the 1860s by the Horsfall family as part of the Penns Hall estate.

[11] Overlooking New Hall Country Park, on Wylde Green Road, is Wincelle, a 15th-century timber-framed house.

The majority of finds have been discovered in the east of the area alongside the Sutton Coldfield Bypass.

In 1982 the Trust was presented with a further opportunity to purchase an extra six acres of land next to the cricket pitch for use by the Rugby Club and other site users.

Members of the two clubs constructed the main club building in 1977, and there have been a number of major extensions added over the years[12] A railway station once served Walmley, Penns (for Walmley) Station on the Sutton Park Line, which was closed in 1964 as part of the Beeching Axe even though it was very well patronised.

Walmley Village is served by several National Express West Midlands buses that run from Sutton Coldfield town centre.

The Walmley Road was known as a major thoroughfare from Sutton Coldfield town centre to Birmingham.

Founded in 1792, it was financed from funds impounded by the Courts in respect to acts of alleged mismanagement by the Sutton Corporation.

The Deanery Church of England Infants and Junior School on Fox Hollies Road is also grant-maintained.
