Perton is not a place that you visit by chance. Built on a former airfield in the 1970s with a population of 11500 it would seem a model for proposed garden villages. There is a single road in leading onto a circular gyratory with the village centre and pool in the heart. I saw a single pub and the overall impression is somewhere lost in the 1980s with a village produce show and best mongrel competition. The village is contiguous with the Wolverhampton boundary and buses use a dedicated rear access to save an around three mile drive to the main road.
