Area Information
Living in B43 7NA means residing within the Pheasey Park Farm Ward, a small residential cluster located in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall. This postcode covers a specific area of approximately 1,500 residents who primarily inhabit the expansive Pheasey Estate. The estate forms a distinctive residential community built largely in the 1930s on former farmland south of Barr Beacon.

Many consider this location part of the wider Great Barr neighbourhood due to its proximity and character. The history of the land stretches back to 1559 when Simon Veysie purchased the land known as Barr Lea. Later sales to the First National Housing Trust in 1938 initiated significant development work that continued post-war. Today, the area retains a strong connection to its past, with listed buildings such as the barn adjoining Doe Bank Farmhouse standing as reminders of the local heritage. The community centre and library serve as vital hubs for residents, fostering a sense of connectedness within this established ward.
