Originally the B4153 ran all the way from the junction with the A452 at Anchor Bridge in Brownhills, Staffordshire, to the A461 near St John's Church in Walsall Wood. However, the B4152 has taken over the section Northwards from the B4152/B4153 junction; and only the Southern section along Coppice Road remains. The B4153 currently has no numbered signage.
Starting at the junction with the B4152 the B4153 runs initially southwest between the former Walsall Wood Colliery Site to the west (now occupied by the Wicksons Coaches depot, and the Maybrook industrial area) and the Oak Park playing fields to the east. The latter is now home to a modern Pithead sculpture monument to the former colliery, located just before the B4153 crosses the remains of a bridge over the former route of the Midland Railway branch line from Aldridge to Brownhills West. Immediately afterwards the road turns to the southeast keeping parallel with the former trackbed until it joins the A461 just South of the former site of the Walsall Wood railway station, by the Walsall Wood Library.
