Lodge Farm

The Lodge Farm estate, also known as the Brackendale Estate, is located in the area of Short Heath in the town of Willenhall, which is in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall.

The estate is centred around Stroud Avenue and has a mixture of Council Properties and private terraced, semi-detached and detached houses. It is served by a small number of convenience stores and is also home to two pubs, a children's home, an elderly care home and a family centre. The estate is also home to a large field, but has no play area for youngsters.

The estate is divided from the neighbouring estates of Bentley & the Briarsleigh Estate by a disused railway, known locally as The Banks. Lodge Farm also borders Willenhall Lawn Cemetery and Lane Head.

The estate is well educated, being the home too four schools (Rosedale CE Infant School, Short Heath Junior School, Lodge Farm Primary School & Willenhall School Sports College).
