Fordhouses

Fordhouses sits on the northern edge of Wolverhampton along the A41 Stafford Road, which links the city with Stafford. The area is a mix of housing and small commercial streets clustered around the junction where Wobaston Road meets Stafford Road. Local facilities include primary schools, community centres and a recreation ground used for football and informal sport. Street-level shopping parades and a handful of independent traders serve day-to-day needs, and the built character ranges from interwar council terraces to later suburban estates.

Transport is oriented toward the A41 and local bus routes that run into Wolverhampton city centre. Pedestrian routes and short local roads connect the residential pockets to the main road and the recreation ground. Community groups use the hall and green spaces for events and sports, while the steady line of shops along Stafford Road provides a clear local focus for the neighbourhood. The layout makes the junction of Wobaston and Stafford Road a recognisable point for people travelling through the area.
