Orphan date February 2009 Straits Estate is a housing estate located near Sedgley , West Midlands county West Midlands , England , to the north west of Gornal Ward, and was built for homeowners during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The streets within the estate are all named after famous poets and wordsmiths. It was originally known as the Conqueror s Farm housing estate after a farm which had been situated in the local area, but the Straits name was adopted by the local community soon afterwards as it was situated around The Straits, a main through route along which several shops to serve the new estate were built. Two further shops on the estate were convered into private flats in the mid 1990s. The estate was constructed around a large residence called The Straits House, which was built in about 1830. It had once been occupied by a succession of affluent local people, but by the time the surrounding estate was completed, it had been converted into a public house. This pub was the centre of most activities in the estate, with fairs, and fates on the car park and grounds. It opened as a pub in 1960 and closed in 2006. It has since been converted into flats. The bus service to the Straits was once a good one, with three different buses an hour, heading towards Dudley, Wolverhampton, and Wombourne, but this service has been streamlined so that only a single bus service comes up twice an hour alternating between going up the main road and going through the estate .

In Jacqueline Carey s Kushiel s Legacy series, the Master of the Straits is a mystical and enigmatic personage, ruler of the Three Sisters, a set of tiny islands off the coast of Azzalle . He has command of the winds and waves, and for many centuries kept the nations of Alba and Eire Kushiel s Legacy Alba and Eire and Terre d Ange from allying with each other by refusing ships passage across the strait that separates the countries. He is called Elder Brother by the superstitions of sailors. He is a tall, white faced man with sea green eyes and iron grey hair. On his island, he keeps an enormous library, housing hundreds of books believed lost to humanity. In Kushiel s Dart , the Master of the Straits allows an Alban delegation, including its Cruarch and his heir, Drustan mab Necthana , to cross the straits, on account of a prophecy stating that his freedom can only come when the nations of Alba and Terre d Ange are united by marriage.
