Norfolk Road, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton
This is at the junction with Bingley Street, looking towards Burleigh Road.
The area contains mainly late Victorian or early 20th terraced housing. The community is racially very mixed. Many corner shops still thrive, and other premises in some of the terraces support a variety of small businesses.

Aston Street, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton
Looking towards Owen Street from the junction with Norfolk Street. On the skyline is the tower of St Peter's Church in Wolverhampton city centre. The brick wall on the right hides the grounds of the former Bingley Junior and Infant School, built c 1910. This is now the Bingley Enterprise Centre.

Crossroads at Owen Road, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton
The housing all around is predominantly solid late Victorian and early 20th century, much of it terraced. Here the junction has five ways, Owen Road passing through (south-east to north-west), and Burleigh Road, Manlove Street, and Dalton Street branching off. Some of the old corner shops have closed, but others remain, now operated by a multi-cultural population. Some regeneration has been attempted by introducing many speed humps, a 20mph speed restriction, and attractively block paving the roads at the junction, giving a real urban village feel to the site. There is still a launderette here, and that has been a dying "species" for years.

New building in Owen Road, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton
Until recently there was a space between the shop and the next house, probably built in late Victorian or early Edwardian times. I will appreciate any local historian contacting me about the history of this gap. It can just be seen on the left in this image:

Burleigh Road, Penn Fields, Wolverhampton
This shows the extended corner shop at the junction with Owen Road. The short bell shaped tower is an architectural oddity among these late Victorian and early 20th century terraced shops and houses.
