Leamore

Leamore

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 1960s.

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

Ball House and Leadbetter House tower blocks, situated in the north of Leamore and built during the 1960s were demolished in late 2007 after some 40 years of dominating the local skyline.

Bloxwich Road is one of two routes running parallel through Leamore between Walsall and Bloxwich. The other is Green Lane.
