Pouk Hill is a hill located in Walsall, West Midlands, England. It inspired the title of a Slade song during the 1970s, as lead singer Noddy Holder lived on the nearby Beechdale estate. The cover shot of (then) Ambrose Slade's first album, Beginnings was taken here, in the snow. The occasion later inspired the song.
The hill is situated off Bloxwich Lane in the Birchills area of the town, and overlooks the M6 motorway as well as the Beechdale housing estate.

Famous quotes containing the word hill:
“For now the moon with friendless light carouses
On hill and housetop, street and marketplace,
Men will plunge, mile after mile of men,
To crush this lucent madness of the face....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
