The Ashmore Park Estate was built in the early 1950s to provide overspill housing for Wolverhampton in the neighbouring Wednesfield UDC. Along with the Long Knowle Estate this doubled the population within the UDC within 10 years and developed almost all of the building land. The estate encompasses the former Ashmore Park Colliery and is centred on a medieval moated farm.
