IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Fellows Street, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV2 4ND

The view in Wolverhampton alongside the Lower Villiers Street Park.

I have always imagined that this immaculately presented set of terraced houses was built for the employees of S J & E Fellows, whose factory at least was near to the bottom of Fellows Street, but I have never been able to establish whether this was actually the case. The trees whose shadows have created intricate patterns on the road surface line the southern boundary of Graiseley Park.

This is a pleasant small park area with century (estimated) old plane trees lining the boundary with Fellows Street. There is an enclosed child play area, one football pitch, an enclosed open air basketball court, and a small wooded area.

Fellows Street is on the left. The magnificent trees in Graiseley Park appear to be a similar age to the set four-unit house terraces, from around the turn of the nineteenth century. They should be good for another hundred years or more! This is a pleasant small park area with an enclosed child play area, one football pitch, an enclosed open air basketball court, and a small wooded area.

Fellows Street is on the left. Stanford Road is at the far end (west) of the park. The magnificent mature plane trees in this pleasant park appear to be of a similar age to the terraced housing (blocks of four), from around the turn of the nineteenth century. This is a pleasant small park area with an enclosed child play area, one football pitch, an enclosed open air basketball court, and a small wooded area.

This is a pleasantly landscaped park (also called Graiseley Recreation Ground) hidden between older industrial premises and some late nineteenth and early twentieth century housing near Lower Villiers Street.

The view from Stanford Road in Blakenhall, Wolverhampton.

This part of Blakenhall is characterised by housing constructed mostly in the 1930s in various styles. The terrace of four houses seen here, on the corner of Milford Road, was distinctive in that it originally had curved glass at the outer ends of the semi bay windows, though in all cases this has been replaced with twin sections of flat glass. In their current form, these houses blend in far more with their more conservatively architectured neighbours.

Seen from the end of Milford Road; a bit further on, Stanford Road becomes Pool Street.
