Birches Bridge is an area of Codsall, Staffordshire. It is situated to the northwest of Wolverhampton between Bilbrook and Codsall.
Birches Bridge takes its name from The Birches, a large estate first mentioned in court rolls of 1716 and in a Codsall Parish Register of 1730.[1] The estate stood between the present day Birches Road and Lane Green Road.[2] Birch coming from old English braec or brec, meaning a newly cultivated piece of land.
