Tumbler Grove, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV10 0AT

Off the Wednesfield Road (A4124) this extensive new Wimpey housing development is on the former brown field site left following demolition of the Chubb Works. I wonder how this year's credit crunch is affecting sales and lettings. The sign exclaims: Two bedroom apartments from £85,995 - Four bedroom homes from £144,995.

The view is looking along Hemmings Close to the new housing, beyond which the high rise flats of Heath Town can be seen. This extensive housing development off the Wednesfield Road is on the former site of the Chubb Works, and part of the new century's Wolverhampton regeneration plan.

With the main access from Wednesfield Road, this development of new homes is part of the Wolverhampton regeneration scheme. The site was formerly occupied by the Chubb Works. The estate, referred to as St Peter's Walk by Wimpey the builders, advertises two bedroom apartments from £85,995 and four bedroom homes from £144,995 but I wonder how sales are progressing in today's credit crunch environment.

The new housing development in the heart of the 1960s Heath Town Estate on the site of the former Chubb safe factory. A large number of the properties are for sale or rent.

At the North of the Grid Square in Park Village. The Church was the first building on the road and has been there since 1906.

A closed post office, takeaways, barber's shop, chemist and corner shop at the centre of the 1960s Heath Town Estate. The shops are a remnant of the original Victorian housing.

This is the Wednesfield Road (A4124 to Bloxwich and Brownhills)) and the high rise flats ahead are in Heath Town. The traffic hold-up at this "quieter" time of day is caused because one lane here (this side of the fence) is designated exclusively for buses and other public transport approaching Wolverhampton, leaving the single lane for everybody else as an even more congested bottleneck.

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.
