Old Park Farm

Old Park Farm

Old Park Farm is a residential area of Dudley, West Midlands (formerly Worcestershire and Staffordshire), England.

It was developed in the early 1950s by Dudley County Borough council as a council housing estate in the extreme west of the town near the border with Sedgley on rural land next to the Wren's Nest estate that had been built in the 1930s. Several private houses were built on the estate as well.

The estate is known locally as "The Greens" as most of the roads on it are called "Green"; ie Ash Green and Oak Green.

Sycamore Green Primary School served the estate for some 50 years until its closure in 2006, and since 2000 a health centre has also served the estate.

Its most famous former resident is Sam Allardyce, who is currently manager of Premier League football club Blackburn Rovers (and a former manager of clubs including Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United, and in his playing career was on the books of clubs including Sunderland and Coventry City). He was born in a then new council house on Ash Green on 19 October 1954, moving away from the address when beginning his playing career in the early 1970s, though his mother remained there until her death in 1991.
