Leamore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leamore is a suburb of Walsall in the extreme north of the town on the border with Bloxwich. It is a mix of private and council housing built since the late 19th century. The most significant homes in the area are several multi storey blocks of council flats which were built in the 1960's.

The largest single housing development in Leamore is the Beechdale housing estate which was built by Walsall council in the 1950's to rehouse people from town centre slum clearances. Neville Noddy Holder, the lead singer of Slade, grew up at Beechdale.
