Mini roundabout on Griffiths Drive, Ashmore Park
At this point, near the south western corner of the estate, Griffiths Drive (the main distributor road through the estate) loops back round to meet itself; therefore, all three exits from the mini roundabout are parts of Griffiths Drive.

Council Housing - Griffiths Drive
The Ashmore Park Estate was built in the early 1950s to provide overspill housing for Wolverhampton in the neighbouring Wednesfield UDC. Along with the Long Knowle Estate this doubled the population within the UDC within 10 years and developed almost all of the building land. The estate encompasses the former Ashmore Park Colliery and is centred on a medieval moated farm.
The low brick walls are characteristic of this and the Long Knowle estates.
The road is named after A M Griffiths a local builder and councillor.

The moat of Ashmore Park Farm
There's very little left of the moat, apart from this slightly depressed area of grass (where the two girls are walking) but it represents the remains of a moated medieval farm settlement, which also had a fishpond just outside the moat. A later (19th Century) farm building just to the south was demolished in the 1950s, at roughly the time that the Ashmore Park estate was being built.
