About Fencing in Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield holds the distinction of being a Royal Town, a status granted by Henry VIII in 1528 after Bishop John Vesey, a local man and close royal adviser, secured a charter to improve the town's fortunes. That same charter gave Sutton Park, now one of the largest urban parks in Europe at around 2,400 acres, to the town's residents in perpetuity, land once used as a hunting ground by Tudor monarchs. The town today is a mostly affluent suburb of Birmingham. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering postcodes B72 and B73.

Types of Materials found in Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield sits on the Birmingham Plateau, underlain by Triassic sandstone and pebble deposits, generally giving firmer, better draining ground than the clay found in many other English towns. Sutton Park itself sits on this same sandstone geology, with areas of heathland reflecting the free draining, slightly acidic soils typical where sandstone lies close to the surface. Ground in the town's residential streets generally follows this same pattern, though some variation exists closer to local streams and low lying land.
