Darwin Court, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV6 7TH

Looking north-ish. Upper Lake in Perton is also sometimes called Big Lake, and is fed by the infant River Penk which rises just under a mile to the east in Tettenhall Wood. A pleasant public footpath alongside the river (off to the left) leads northwards to the smaller Lower Lake. Perton in South Staffordshire is a large village, effectively the edge of the Wolverhampton conurbation. Much of it was built in the late 20th century and early 21st century on the site of the former Perton Aerodrome which closed in July 1947, and adjacent farmland. https://pertonparishcouncil.gov.uk/about-the-parish/history-of-the-parish/ Since 2023 the village has started expanding into farmland west of Wrottesley Park Road.
