Haggar Street, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV2 3ET

This shows the back of some late Victorian terraced houses in Haggar Street seen across an area of well kept grass which has replaced houses already demolished. Another area between the backs of the houses to the right is derelict, so I hope when that is redeveloped, the open area remains.

A late Victorian terrace in Haggar Street. The arched entrance leads through to a near derelict enclosed area of what might have been small workshops behind the houses. Can anyone local mail me with information please? :-)

The end of a late Victorian terrace in Haggar Street. The arched entrance leads through to a near derelict enclosed area of what might originally have been small industrial workshops behind the houses. Local information about these industries will be appreciated. Note 6.11.2015 Was the arch at the end a drayman's entrance to a demolished public house? What was its name. This used to be part of Cross Street South before the 1960s. Was the house with the blue blinds a butcher's shop? Who owned it? The white protective covering of the Phoenix Rise tower block, presently undergoing demolition can be seen on the right. The grassy area just beyond the archway has replaced an earlier demolition programme of old housing.

This Late Victorian housing is at the edge of the Blakenhall Gardens regeneration area. The last of the six high rise blocks (Phoenix Rise) is at present being demolished just off the image to the right.

Looking towards Shaw Road, with Haggar Street to the right, Ranelegh Road to the left. These mature trees have been left with their minor landscaping, waiting to be an attractive part of extensive regeneration which will follow the demolition of the last of six tower blocks nearby. A lot of land is ready for building to start, behind the camera.

Recent housing on the left, with late Victorian terraced housing further away at the end of Haggar Street. Behind the camera is a large derelict area which has been levelled in preparation for an extensive building programme of low rise housing at Blakenhall Gardens. Let's hope the planners match the attractive name with an attractive living area. Nearby, off to the right, Phoenix Rise, the last of six 1960s tower blocks is being slowly demolished. Image
