Just north of Walsall, Blakenhall Heath is primarily given over to housing. Old maps prior to WW2 suggest that it was still very rural up until about the early 1930s, but building of the estates put an end to that between the wars. Many of the houses date from that period, although the ones on the right here are clearly more recent.
