IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Cabot Grove, WOLVERHAMPTON, WV6 7TQ

Looking east from near the junction with Cabot Grove. Several other nearby roads are also named after explorers.

Looking north-west towards The Parkway and houses in Cabot Road. The path continues alongside the River Penk and towards the Lower Lake.

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.

The extensive housing surrounds the centre where there is a park including a lake, and a shopping precinct with supermarket, churches and a medical centre. In this image, looking north-east, the lake is off to the right. The footbridge crosses the River Penk which flows off to the left.
