Coal Pool is a housing estate in Walsall, West Midlands, England. Most of the homes in area were built by the local council during the 1930s, with a smaller development taking place in the late 1940s which marked the resumption of council house building in the borough after World War II.{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=36189 |title=Walsall - The growth of the town | A History of the County of Stafford: Volume 17 (pp. 146-165) |publisher=British-history.ac.uk |date= |accessdate=2011-10-07}}

During World War II, an air raid on a house in Beddows Road on 14 November 1940 resulted in a 19-year-old Blakenall Heath man being seriously injured; he died in Walsall Manor Hospital shortly afterwards. This was the only civilian fatality during the Second World War.[http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/3148462 Norman Bayley]

Community facilities and housing have been improved and relatively little demolition has taken place around CoalPool, with the overwhelming majority of the properties being refurbished.
