Falcon Lodge

Falcon Lodge (gbmaprim|SP141962|SP 141 962) is an area of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, West Midlands covered in predominantly council houses forming the Falcon Lodge Estate. It is located between Whitehouse Common and Reddicap Heath. To the west of the estate lies Rectory Park. It forms part of the edge of the Sutton Coldfield conurbation and the English countryside.

The estate takes its name from the house built on newly enclosed common land in 1820. In 1852 the estate comprised some 54 acres of meadow, pasture and arable land. In 1937 the Sutton Coldfield Corporation acquired the house and land for £39,500 for the provision of local authority housing. The resultant Falcon Lodge Estate was built between 1948 and 1950. There are two secondary schools opposite each other: John Willmott School & Fairfax School. The road on which they lie acts as the border of the estate. There is also a primary school called Newhall (formerly Woodington).

The estate is split by a small stream along which a road is situated. This road acts as the main route on which National Express West Midlands buses travelling through the estate take.

The Falcon Lodge area is served by the Sutton Trinity electoral ward which only came into being in 2004.
