Long Knowle Estate - Guest Avenue
In the immediate post-war period Wolverhampton County Borough required additional housing for a growing population and slum clearance around the town centre. As most building land had been used within the Borough the Council negotiated for several greenfield sites in neighbouring Wednesfield Urban District Council including Long Knowle and Ashmore Park in 1949. By 1953 plans had been finalised and the site work on the traditionally constructed homes started in October 1953. The first home was finished in May 1954 and by August over 100 were complete.
The playing field at the centre of the estate is bounded on one side by the school and on the other three by blocks of three storey flats. The first of these was opened in July 1955. The flats are similar to Princess Court and Queen's Court in Falling's Park built in 1950. Image]
The flats were as much as traditional techniques could achieve for medium density housing and were superseded by the high rise tower blocks of the early 1960s estates.
