Ednam Road, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV4 5BL

Approaching the junction with Goldthorn Hill. What remains of Phoenix Rise, currently being demolished, can be seen in the distance beyond these detached houses from the 1920s. Goldthorn Park Estate was built in the 1920s and consisted of 1,500-2,000 houses, built in a setting of woods and scattered spinneys. The original plans included bowling greens, croquet lawns and an 18-hole golf course, though none of these were ever built. The houses on the estate included four bedroomed houses for the medium sized family, three bedroom houses, which were given what the architect called the 'cottage treatment', and the 'servantless house'. All houses had separate kitchens and bathrooms, and some even had a garage.
