Turnberry Estate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turnberry Estate is a residential area of Bloxwich in the West Midlands of England. It was developed during the 1980s for the construction of new privately owned homes, and has borders with the countryside which heads away from Bloxwich in the direction of Cannock. The North Walsall cemetery is also situated in the northernmost part of the estate.

The estate is served by the X51 National Express West Midlands bus route and Bloxwich North railway station which is located on the south western edge of the estate.

The estate was preceded by a much older manor house, which was at times host to a travelling judge or law man appointed by the capital to give judgment on locals every time he returned. This was believed to have been destroyed by fire after running into ruin in the 1970s.

The estate now includes a local Marston's Brewery pub, A Co-Op Food store, an Indian restaurant, a Chinese takeaway, a Beauty Salon, Hair Salon, and a fish bar.
