Paddock

About

Paddock ward lies in the northeast of Walsall town centre, forming a largely residential area between the Broadway and Birmingham Road corridors. Its housing stock is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside some inter-war semi-detached homes and more modern infill developments. The ward includes the historic Paddock pub, which gives the area its name and serves as a local landmark.

The area is characterised by its proximity to major transport routes, including the M6 motorway, and contains several local schools and community facilities. A notable feature is the presence of the former James Bridge Steel Works site, a significant part of the borough's industrial heritage that has undergone redevelopment. The ward's landscape is generally urban, with pockets of green space provided by smaller parks and recreational grounds.
