Listing: Locally listed, approved March 2000.
Rustic style cottages built in the early 1950s.
Comment: A very remarkable development, with
three cottages off an access road, amazing shingle roofs and no boundary
walls or fences between the plots.

A local resident says that she believes these houses were
built by the local builders, Griffiths. The family which owned the
company lived in the large house on the next plot. She also
recollects that Billy Crook, the Wolves footballer, lived in one of
these houses.
It seems possible that the Griffiths family developed this
plot in this way to act as a kind of breakwater against the tide of
Wednesfield's suburban development which was threatening to engulf their
family home.
