Old church and modern supermarket in Finchfield, Wolverhampton
Looking north near the junction of Oak Hill, Finchfield Hill and Finchfield Road West. The Lidl store opened circa 2009 after many years of delay in planning, then a further delay because they were ignoring height restrictions on their approved development plans.
The thriving Windmill Community Church https://www.windmillcommunitychurch.org/ was formerly the Church of St Thomas, built in 1875, and closed in 1997. Considerable restoration work was required before it reopened circa 2020-2021.

Old church on Oak Hill, Finchfield
Seven years on from
Image, it appears that this closed church has still to find a new purpose. The adjacent Lidl supermarket appeared to be very new, though it appears that Lidl were attempting to obtain planning permission for it over six years ago (see
Image). Things appear to happen slowly in Finchfield.
