Towards Heath Town, Wolverhampton

Image: © Roger D Kidd Taken: 17 Dec 2008

This is the Wednesfield Road (A4124 to Bloxwich and Brownhills) and the high rise flats ahead are in Heath Town. New housing on the left has been developed on the "brown field site" formerly occupied by the Chubb Works, and more is taking place. One wonders how sales and lettings are faring in this year's credit crunch climate! The traffic hold-up approaching Wolverhampton at this "quieter" time of day is caused because half the road is designated for buses and other public transport only, leaving the single lane for everybody else as an even more congested bottleneck.
