Blakenall North

Blakenall North is a residential area situated in the northern part of Walsall. The housing is primarily composed of interwar and post-war terraced homes and council-built properties, with some newer infill developments. The landscape is characterised by gentle slopes and numerous green spaces, including playing fields and smaller parks that break up the built environment. Local amenities are focused along a few main roads serving the community's daily needs.

The area is defined by its proximity to the large, open expanse of the Blakenall Heath, a significant area of common land with a history of industrial use now largely reclaimed by nature. This provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding streets. Transport links are straightforward, with good road connections to Walsall town centre and the wider Black Country network, supporting a predominantly local population.
