About

Wood End is an area of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, positioned in the eastern part of the city. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with a mix of terraced and semi‑detached houses alongside mid‑20th‑century council estates. A narrow band of mature trees and a small green runs along one edge of the estate and has long been a local boundary marker, giving the neighbourhood its name and a clear linear landmark within the street pattern.

Local provision includes a primary school, a community centre, local shops and a network of playing fields and allotments. Regular bus services connect Wood End with Wolverhampton city centre. Community groups use the halls and open spaces for events and sports, and residents make frequent use of the tree line and greens for walking and informal recreation. The area’s short streets and crescents reflect the estate planning of the post‑war period, with occasional infill housing on former hard‑standing sites.
