New Hall Estate

The New Hall Estate is the older of the two major private housing estates named after New Hall Manor in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands in England.

It was built in a number of phases beginning in the 1980s by Bryant Homes with the final phase (Granary Lane) built in the late 1990s,[1] on land which was formerly part of Newhall Farm formerly owned by Rubery Owen Holdings.

The estate[2] can be accessed via Walmley Road onto Sir Alfreds Way, named after Sir Alfred Owen or via the top of Reddicap Hill onto Betteridge Drive or via the bottom of Reddicap Hill onto Lisures Drive.

Residents have reported feeling safer when walking down previously poorly lit streets as the LED lights allow a wider spectrum of colours to be seen and facial features to be distinguished.

When built the estate was wired with underground feeds by British Telecom, therefore there are no telephone poles.
