Bantock Park occupies the triangle formed by Broad Lane, Finchfield Road and Bradmore Road. Bantock House and Museum are towards the eastern corner of the park. This view from the eastern half of the pitch and putt course looks towards the end four from a row of fourteen late Victorian semi-detached houses in Finchfield Road. The park was originally a farm owned by the Bantock family. The house and land, comprising 16 hectares, were bequeathed to the corporation of Wolverhampton (for use as a public park) on the death of the Alderman Albert Baldwin Bantock in 1938.
