Cannock Road
The old turnpike road on the left was built cutting off a corner which is now preserved in the 20th century housing development. The road sign with a similar one at the other end of 'The Triangle' dates from the Staffordshire County Council period. The sign from pre 1902 is locally listed and was supplied by W H Smith of Whitchurch.

Parting of the ways
This junction on the Cannock Road in Wolverhampton dates back to the building of the turnpikes. The current Cannock Road to the left shortened the route by cutting off two sides of a triangle.

Fallings Park Garden Suburb - Victoria Road
This may have been the face of council housing in the town. An exhibition of housing was held on the Fallings Park 'Triangle' in 1908 with small groups of houses built. The completion of the suburb on 50 acres of Arthur Paget's estate was interrupted by the Great War and more mundane council housing was later built on the prepared sites.

Warehousing on 'Meadows' Site
Henry Meadows Ltd was founded in 1920 to produce three speed gearboxes for cars. They quickly expanded into petrol and later diesel engines for military and commercial vehicles, boats and trains. In the 1950s the site covered an area of 14 acres with a workforce of 1200. The site closed in 1960 and had lain derelict for many years before the factory units were refurbished as warehousing.
A clothing manufacturer now occupies part of the original buildings.
