AN ESTATE has been dubbed the poshest in the UK - with artisan bakeries and quaint bungalows.
But the Birmingham area - which has gained its title locally - has a dark side.
Tettenhall, in Wolverhampton, is thriving with locally owned shops, delis and patisseries.
The ancient village has been dubbed the "poshest" area by locals, boasting pretty streets with quaint terraced homes which boast bright flower gardens.
The high street plays host to a number of independent shops, and the smell of delicious food wafts from the delis, while locals can be seen walking between its hairdressers and estate agents.

But those who live in the town raised some concerns around crime.
A man, who works at a shop in the village centre, told BirminghamLive: "It is a nice area, a lot of elderly people live here.
"There is a lot of independent shops, it is a good community, everyone knows everyone.
"We are very welcoming to people outside of Tettenhall. It's a bit nicer compared to other areas."
However, he added: "Robberies have gone up. A lot of shops are targeted here because of the lack of security and there's no one about."
Meanwhile Judith Banks, 69, said Tettenhall was a "beautiful" place to live, she had a couple of issues.
Judith said: "It is very nice, occasionally there is a little bit of rowdiness (from pubs), I think that is mainly on Saturday nights.
"But it is convenient for everything, it is beautiful over the park, it really is.
"I have lived for about three years at the top of Tettenhall, but I used to live down Lower Street for 30 years. I have always used the village.
"The bus goes straight into town, we have the library, plenty of cafes, the clock tower, so it is really nice.

"We could do with a few more shops, I think, but not hairdressers - we are inundated with hairdressers.
"Other than that, it is a very nice place to live."
Another man, who was walking along the street, and who wished to remain anonymous, said: "Tettenhall is unique in terms of Wolverhampton and it has always been one of the better areas, the wealthier areas, but it is changing, big-time."
