Everything about Chuckery totally explained
Chuckery is a small suburb of
Walsall located a mile from the town centre.
Name
The name "Chuckery" is believed to originate from the common medieval word to describe a poultry farming area.
Demographics
Chuckery has a diverse ethnic mix, with a large South Asian community; particularly first and second generation Pakistani immigrants. Comprising relatively inexpensive housing (predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and five Tower Blocks), it's primarily a working class area.
Employment
Historically, the area was home to a large number of
Saddlers, with a number of the Victorian houses still having small workshops at the rear.
One of the largest employers in Chuckery is the
Chamberlin and Hill
iron
foundry. In recent years residents have complained about the emissions from the foundry's chimney, claiming that it's an irritant, and causes staining to paintwork on houses and cars. Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council, working with Walsall Primary Care Trust are undertaking a detailed survey of
Air Quality in the area, combining analysis of the air quality with surveys of local residents.
Places of Interest
It is the home of Chuckery Primary School, a number of Christian Churches and a Mosque. It is near to the established independent schools, Mayfield Preparatory School and Hydesville Tower School.
As well as corner shops, the three main
Public Houses are the Spring Cottage and the Duke of York, (both built in the late 1930s) and the older Walsall Arms. There are two
Working men's clubs, known locally as "The Big Club" and "The Little Club".
It is near to one of the most prominent roads in Walsall, the Broadway, and is on the other side of the Broadway to a famous Victorian Park,
Walsall Arboretum.
