It is situated to the north-east of the town centre, in the Roe Lee ward which has an estimated population of around 5948.[1] Other nearby places include Ramsgreave, Wilpshire and Sunnybower. Brownhill sports a number of local businesses including Brownhill Pharmacy, Brownhill Post Office, Brownhill Arms (situated approximately {{convert|0.3|mi|abbr=on}} from Ramsgreave and Wilpshire railway station[2]) and Videorama. In the centre of Brownhill is the junction of the A666 Whalley New Road and A6119 Blackburn Ring Road; when the ring road was built in the 1920s{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}} it was a roundabout with the Blackburn to Wilpshire tram route through the middle.[3] Brownhill has three churches: Holy Souls (Roman Catholic), St Gabriels (Church of England) and Trinity (Congregational). St Gabriel's is located on Brownhill Drive, and was built in 1933[4] to replace the original St Gabriel's Church, which was situated on Pearl Street. St Gabriel's is now somewhat of a famous Blackburnian landmark over due to its 'light-up' red cross, which was installed in 1964,[5] can be seen as far away as Clayton-le-Moors (approximately {{convert|8|mi|abbr=on}}). The BP garage in Brownhill offers 24-hour fuel, off licence and grocery services.
