Former bus turning circle, Parkfield Crescent, Parkfield
For many years, Wolverhampton Corporation's Thompson Avenue bus service (numbered variously 14, 15, 34, and latterly 97) used this turning circle built into the west end of Parkfield Crescent. This route was something of a dead end for Wolverhampton Corporation: south of this point Thompson Avenue becomes Birmingham New Road, which was constructed in the late 1920s and was always Midland Red territory until its Birmingham and Black Country operations were purchased by West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive (which absorbed Wolverhampton Corporation's buses in 1969) in 1973.

Council Housing - Parkfield Crescent
The shortage of available land within the borough was a constraint to the advent of organised council house building. The Parkfield Estate was built in the early 1920s on the former Parkfield Colliery site.
Council house sales under 'Right to Buy' show up with modifications to properties either by owners or improvements by the council. The abandoned sofa suggests a council property.
