Council Housing - Westcroft Avenue
The latest attempt to plant trees on the open space will probably fail when the weather brightens up and the natives come out to play.

Shops and bus terminus, Westcroft Avenue, Underhill estate
Built in the 1950s, this estate was never served as such by trolleybuses, which skirted the southern edge of the estate along Cannock Road. No turning circle was provided here, buses going around the block behind the shops to return to town. The bus shelter is one of the dwindling number in Centro green (as opposed to Network West Midlands blue).

Britain's first low floor double decker, Underhill estate
Loading at the Westcroft Avenue terminus of route 11 from Wolverhampton town centre, National Express West Midlands 4001, a DAF DB250LF/Optare Spectra, was the first low floor double deck bus built for service in Britain. Launched with much fanfare in (if memory serves) 1998, it was not however the first such vehicle to enter service in Britain, being beaten to that honour by a few hours by a similar vehicle operated by a small Bristol based independent operator called Abus (if memory serves).

Council Housing - Pope Road
Housing on the early 1950s Underhill Estate. Perhaps unfortunate to share a common road name with the less well regarded pre-war Scotlands Estate.
