Council Housing - Lincoln Green
Immediate post war prefabricated homes dating from around 1947. Although Wolverhampton had lost a relatively small number of properties to bombing the council still erected a large number of these temporary dwellings. Surprisingly a fair proportion of these remain scattered around the city despite their original ten year design life.

The Warriors Tomb, Bushbury
Interesting what can be discovered when exploring, this appeared to be nothing more than a collection of rocks, however, a little research has revealed that it is known as the 'Warriors Tomb'. The rocks are thought to be a memorial to those killed at The Battle of Tettenhall (also known as the Battle of Wednesfield or Wōdnesfeld), which took place on 5 August 910. A battle where the Danes were defeated by the combined forces of the Kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia under the leadership of Edward the Elder of Wessex and Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians. They were brother and sister, their father was Alfred the Great.

The Warrior's Tomb - Bushbury
In 910 Saxon Queen Ethelfleda's Mercian and her brother Edward's Wessex armies defeated a Viking army at the battle of Wodensfelde killing two Viking kings and inflicting a crushing victory over the invaders. This was a turning point in the struggle with the Danes and end of the Danelaw.
The location of the battle is unknown, variously linked with Tettenhall and Wednesfield. The significance of this pile of stones is unclear but is near to the Parish Church. It is unmarked and even as a local I had assumed this was merely a rockery.
