Electrical substation
The Midland Electricity Corporation Ltd with offices in Birmingham supplied power to an area of the Black Country from Bilston to Stourbridge. This substation in Wednesfield dating from the 1930s is on the fringe of their supply area.
The company was nationalised in 1947 as part of the Midlands Electricity Board.

The Long Knowle Mound
A crescent shape of engineered fill with grass was constructed earlier this year on the open space beside the school. The grass has not survived the weather or use by children during the school holidays and has been overtaken by weeds. The only green is the astro-turf next to the slide. When I saw the architect's proposals for this I expected something much larger. It turned out to be less a mound and more of a molehill.
