Park Hall

Park Hall is a residential area within, but near to the southern edge of, Walsall, England. Officially, it comes under the Paddock area of the town, however it is recognised as a separate estate by most residents. It is considered that the housing area near to the local Park Hall Primary and Infant schools and the Gillity Village shops are classed as Park Hall. The estate is named after the Park Hall, built in 1863, which was the home of Sir William Pearman Smith, a solicitor and Walsall's mayor during 1899–1902. The hall was demolished in the 1950s.cite web
