Russells Hall

Russells Hall

Russells Hall is a residential area of Dudley in the West Midlands of England. The area was extensively mined for coal during the Industrial Revolution but this process ceased in about 1950 when the local council earmarked the area for housing development.

The land at Russells Hall was then made safe and allowed to settle until housebuilding commenced. The first council house was occupied in 1958 and the whole estate was completed within a decade, with a mix of private and council housing. The estate is served by a primary school, a secondary school and three special schools, as well as being within close proximity of the local hospital.
