The Coleys Lane Estate is a social housing estate in the Turves Green area of Birmingham. It is bordered to the north by Cross City railway line and is divided by Coleys Lane, from which the estate takes its name. Up until World War II, the land for the estate was undeveloped, although the area around it had been developed substantially during the interwar period.
In 1959, plans for the estate were approved and construction began the following year. It was built by DL and completed in 1961. The estate was predominantly lowrise, although three tower blocks were constructed along Willetts Road.
