Cycleway on disused railway
This cycleway follows part of the disused railway on the edge of the Memorial Park in Willenhall. The line was opened in 1872 between Wolverhampton and Walsall via Wednesfield and Willenhall. It was closed to passenger traffic in 1931. Closure to goods traffic is believed to be in the early 1960s though a source suggests the slightly earlier date of 1958.

Site of Willenhall Stafford Street Station 2010
In this view we are roughly in the middle of the tracks, Walsall Platform to the left Wolverhampton Platform and station buildings to the right. The earth bank on the right is infill from the building of a new housing estate on the site of the goods yard which extended behind the platform and included a goods shed, stable and overhead crane. The signal box would have been behind the photographer on the right, somewhere under the earthwork. A loop passed to the rear of the Walsall platform and exited via the smaller arch of the bridge.
