The New Hall Estate is the older of the two major housing estates named after New Hall Manor in the West Midlands in England. It was built in the 1970s and is a maze of roads. The construction of the estate was considered one of the most complicated housing projects of the decade in England due to the angle on which some of the houses were built on.
Famous quotes containing the words hall and/or estate:
“For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
“Not a flock of wild geese cackles over our town, but it to some extent unsettles the value of real estate here, and, if I were a broker, I should probably take that disturbance into account.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
