Top of Leacroft Avenue, Bushbury Hill estate
For many years, this junction, where Leacroft Avenue (foreground) meets Old Fallings Lane, was used by buses to turn round. The Bushbury Hill trolleybus service (latterly numbered 3) approached via Leacroft Avenue, though by the time buses stopped turning here, the equivalent service (by then numbered 598) had been rerouted to approach via Old Fallings Lane. The current route linking Bushbury Hill with Wolverhampton city centre, service 2, operates a one way loop around the estate and thus no longer needs to turn here.

Bushbury Baths
The baths were built in the 1960s and made use of the sloping terrain of Bushbury Hill. The pool had a 10m diving platform at the far end. The pool and building are showing their age and has proven difficult to maintain.
The pool was replaced by the new leisure pool at Bentley Bridge and this building has been demolished.
The Wrekin can just be seen on the horizon about 20 miles away.

Moreton School - Bushbury Hill
One of two new junior schools to be built this year. The all timber design is similar to the award winning scheme in Blakenhall. The ridge of Bushbury Hill is a finger of open fields with views out into South Staffordshire and Shropshire. The original Bushbury Hill School was built to serve the council estates of Low Hill of the late 1920s and early 1930s. I am told that the school was opened around 1934 by minor royalty.
