About

Bentley is a residential area in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, situated just east of Walsall town centre. The neighbourhood is made up of rows of terraced and semi‑detached houses, local shops and primary schools, with community facilities serving day‑to‑day needs. There are playing fields and small green spaces woven into the street pattern, and a community centre that hosts local groups and activities. Housing development reflects several phases of 20th‑century growth, and everyday life centres on short walking trips to shops, schools and bus stops.

Public transport provides direct links into Walsall and neighbouring districts, while streets are used by commuters heading toward the town’s employment areas. Behind a number of residential streets a long strip of allotments runs parallel to the housing, used by residents for vegetables and plot‑based gardening. The area includes pubs and social clubs where local events are held, and its scale and layout make it a place where neighbours tend to know one another.
