Castle Vale is an area of the City of Birmingham, in England, originally created as an overspill housing estate in the 1960s.
However, Castle Vale began to decline during the 1970s and by the 1980s it was one of the most troubled housing estates in the country.
As of 2006, Castle Vale is a reasonable housing estate of quality private and rented homes in an area with a relatively low crime rate - a far cry from the crime ravaged estate littered with sub-standard housing that it was 15 years ago.

 Jim Perkins - Castle Bromwich
During the second world war Castle Bromwich was famous for two things: the 'Spitfire' factory and the airfield - both of which were actually in Birmingham!
Nowadays the factory makes Jaguar cars and the airfield is a housing estate - but at least most of the roads are named after RAF stations and some of its former commanding officers, one of whom I worked with during my time in the motor industry.
Like many similar communities Castle Bromwich suffered badly from the depredations of developers in the 1960s, but some pockets of the old village have survived.
