Pleck in the borough of Walsall neighbours Palfrey and stretches from the bridge on Wednesbury Road to Junction 9 of the M6 motorway. It consists of a large green space called Pleck Park and housing estates. Pleck is very close to Walsall Manor Hospital & Bescot Stadium (Walsall F.C). Pleck is also close by
Wednesbury, Darlaston, Caldmore, Palfrey, Bescot and M6 J9 (Wednesbury-Walsall A461) The population of this Walsall ward taken at the 2011 Census was 15,014.
The neighbourhood is by a primary school. Most of the houses on the estate were built by the local authority during the 1950s.
The Walsall-Wolverhampton Line runs alongside Pleck Park, and once included Pleck railway station.

Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted an' strayed
Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed
With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides
I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides!
What am I doing up here in a daze
As I gaze at the cold river bed?
Why do I ask myself, "Shall I go back
when I seem to be going ahead?"
To black moonlight!
Where everything reflects your colour
Darkness that is endless.
nights that leave me friendless . . . blue!
Black moonlight!
You make the lights of Harlem duller
Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded . . . too!
Why must you send . . .
ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing . . .
like shadows of love that are gone?
Where will it end?
Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight
and darken each promise of dawn?
Black moonlight!
I've lost all power to resist you
Madly, I await you, even though I hate you
Black, black moonlight!
