I don't know Wolverhampton, or its surrounds, but this could be almost any part of England before everything was built on. The way you have compiled this collecting is compelling and addictive. I loved it, thank you.
Even though I was born in 73 I long for the wolverhampton I remember... Those shots of Horsley field take me back.. We lived down that way and walked that road to town all the time with our nan and grandad.. I miss those days
Great collection of images, amazing how neat and tidy everything was kept back in the day, despite the hardship and work conditions local people had pride in their area, unlike today.
Some of the difference nowadays is so called progress i wolves born and bred and compared to this video the place seems bleak by comparison nowadays nice film
Technically Wolverhampton was just the town centre around St Peters church surrounded by villages, hamlets etc. As industry and houses and roads were built the town expanded and these villages became part of Wolverhampton. Technically everywhere was near Wolverhampton until the 19th and 20th century expansion.
Yes, to say your village was near (Nr.) a larger town like Wolverhampton or Dudley was a very common expression. It's now seen as old fashioned and is very rarely used by anyone under 80 years old
it's like looking at ghosts from the past. My father moved away after he lost his business. I dare not show him this. We know how Trump would describe the area now.
I was born in Wolverhampton in1958 within 25 year's it changed totally. Sad. But this is beautiful viewing. ❤
Can only imagine how beautiful the likes of the Tettenhall road, west park, goldthorne hill would of been with those big beautiful houses and fields

why does it say Bushbury near Wolverhampton? Lowhill is the heart of Wolverhampton
