'''Coal Pool''' is a housing estate in [[Walsall]], [[West Midlands (county)|West Midlands]], [[England]]. Most of the homes in area were built by the local council during the 1920s and 1930s. It is one of the most deprived parts of Walsall, with poverty and crime being two of the biggest problems which plague the area. |
|||
Construction also took places during the 1990s of private houses on the north of the estate near Dartmouth Avenue, which unlike most of the interwar Coalpool consists of private houses. |
|||
Community facilities and housing have been improved and relatively little demolition has taken place around CoalPool, with the overwhelming majority of the properties being refurbished. |

Coal Pool is a housing estate in Walsall, West Midlands, England. Most of the homes in area were built by the local council during the 1930s, with a smaller development taking place in the late 1940s which marked the resumption of council house building in the borough after World War II.[1]
During World War II, an air raid on a house in Beddows Road on 14 November 1940 resulted in a 19-year-old Blakenall Heath man being seriously injured; he died in Walsall Manor Hospital shortly afterwards. This was the only civilian fatality during the Second World War.[2]
Community facilities and housing have been improved and relatively little demolition has taken place around CoalPool, with the overwhelming majority of the properties being refurbished.
