Wolverhampton Council purchased the Oldfallings and Showell Estates for housing after the Great War. These were developed into large housing estates between 1924 and 1927. The house designs were similar to those used at the smaller developments at Sweetman Street Image and Old Heath Image This is the semi-detached version of the design. Road naming on the estate was unimaginative.
