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.

Site of the demolished Bushbury Baths
No buyers were found for the 1960s baths and they have now been demolished. It would be nice to think that this site could be restored to extend the open space along the ridge of Bushbury Hill.Image
