Pheasey

Pheasey is a residential area of Walsall Metropolitan Borough in the West Midlands of England, often considered to be part of Great Barr.

The area was predominantly developed for housing, as the Pheasey Estate, in the 1930s, but work was not completed until after the Second World War.

[1] Pheasey is situated in the east of the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall and is located adjacent to the Sutton Coldfield and Kingstanding districts of Birmingham.

[1] Record show that in 1559 one Simon Veysie purchased 162 acres, plus a house, garden and orchard, from A John Reddell, for £80.

[1] In July 1921, the Scotts put the farm up for auction, but withdrew it and made a private sale to Smith.

[1] In total they acquired 303,203 acres at Pheasey, a small part of which was on the south side of Queslett Road, and thus in the City of Birmingham.

[1] The refusal was overturned on appeal, but Boots agreed to sell 68 acres to Aldridge UDC to be kept as open space "in perpetuity".

[1] In the early 1960s, the FNHT offered to sell houses to their tenants, and many converted their rents into mortgage payments with the Banner Building Society.

[1][5] Pheasey Evangelical Church, behind Buffet Island, was built by volunteer labour between 1954 and 1962, on a site once earmarked for the pub's tennis court and bowling green.
