New village green at Low Hill
A twenty three year campaign has been waged to protect the large traffic island, Showell Circus, in the heart of this pre-war estate of council housing from development. Following a recent planning application from a retail outlet the traffic island has now been awarded village green status. It is believed that this is the first traffic island in the country to be awarded such status.
The qualification criteria and protection to village greens were amended by Section 15 of the Commons Act 2006. Once registered, it is protected from encroachment and development by section 12 of the Inclosure Act 1845 and section 29 of the Commons Act 1876. Local people have a right to enjoy the land for recreation.

Council Housing - Goodyear Avenue
Wolverhampton Council purchased the Oldfallings and Showell Estates for housing after the Great War. These were developed into large housing estates between 1924 and 1927. These houses in a triangular block bounded by Goodyear Avenue and Second Avenue probably date from the 1960s.
Goodyear opened their plant on the Stafford Road in 1927. Road names also include Wingfoot Avenue.
