It falls within the wider conurbation of Britain’s second city, Birmingham, from which it sits north west of at a distance of 9.5 miles. Located at the centre of an extensive network of local, regional and national roads (just 1.5m west of the M6 and 0.5miles north of the Black Country Way) Willenhall today is surrounded by a post industrial landscape. This context is itself restructuring into one of Britain’s most diverse and industrious communities and Willenhall now finds itself at the cross roads of growth, change and regeneration. Despite this transformation, at its heart is a town centre that dates back to the 8th century. The thriving market place, that the Georgian and Victorian traders would have know still exists as do many of the shops and public houses that surround it. Whilst initially the wider landscape of industry and housing that continues uninterrupted into the heart of Birmingham may appear to have swallowed up and irreversibly altered the setting of this small town, in fact this setting of aggressive and unfettered industrial growth was the very driving force that established the 19th century town we now identify with today. It is this mix of pre and post industrial growth that defines Willenhall and makes it an historic town that has been able to absorb the driving forces of industrial growth. It is the best preserved of Walsall’s towns that showcases the character of the Black Country and its people past and present – The storey of Willenhall is the storey of change, industry, progress and community. Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan | LIST OF FIGURES 7 Restricted ‘Permitted Development’ 1.0 Background Certain types of development, mainly concerned with alterations to buildings are restricted in conservation areas. Any form 1.1 What is a conservation area? of new cladding, for example, is not permitted without planning permission.

Conservation Area designation is curtailed in conservation area. This is in more dependent on the overall quality and order to prevent harmful change that could interest of an area, rather than individual damage the special historic character of the buildings, although it is common for such area. areas to contain a number of Listed Buildings.

    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Bilston branch is closing on Friday 7 May 2021 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank. This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Bilston branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has remained constant in the previous 24 months, however 86% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 13% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 35% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 67 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement.

The Journal welcomes contributions of articles and notes on subjects of relevance to English place-names. The English Place-Name Society (EPNS) was established in 1923 to conduct a county-by-county survey of the place-names of England. To date, the Survey has produced 90 volumes. Almost all English counties have been surveyed, at least in part, and work to complete the Survey is ongoing. The Survey is used by researchers, academics, and those interested in the origins, meaning, and significance of English place-names. The research work and the publication of the Survey are financed by the annual subscriptions of members of the Society, with the help of grants from the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. Since the progress and success of the Survey depend largely upon the strength of the membership, the Society always welcomes new members, both personal and institutional. In return for the annual subscription, members receive free of charge the current issue of the Journal as well as the volume of the Survey allocated to that year’s subscription. They are entitled to order, in addition, any available volume of the Survey at a concessionary price. Associate Members pay a reduced subscription, for which they receive the Journal.

  • 17 Willenhall District Centre
    17 WILLENHALL DISTRICT CENTRE INTRODUCTION 17.1 Willenhall has been fortunate in avoiding the extensive redevelopment that has affected many other settlements in the conurbation and is widely regarded as one of the most intact and unaltered small town centres in the Black Country. While mainly comprising nineteenth and twentieth century buildings, there are some earlier survivals and the irregular street pattern reflects the town’s medieval origins. Much of the Town Centre is a designated conservation area and the Town Centre and surrounding area is also of potential archaeological significance. The area of archaeological interest, as defined on the Black Country Sites and Monuments Record, will be protected under Policy ENV25 in Chapter 3; and the conservation area will be protected under Policy ENV29. 17.2 Historically, Willenhall has specialised in the production of locks. The decline in the fortunes of this and other local industries, together with increased competition from other centres and out-of-centre developments, means that the centre is likely to contract over the Plan period. These policies will help to manage necessary changes and to guide new development into appropriate locations. LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT Policy WH1: Primary Shopping Area (a) The primary shopping area is identified on the Inset Map. New developments, at an appropriate scale, for shopping and services will be directed towards this area, to sustain the health and vitality of the centre. A particular opportunity for new shopping development is identified at Union Street/ Stafford Street/ Market Place (see Policy WH4 VII). (b) Outside the primary shopping area the Council will encourage investment in service, leisure, community or other town centre uses and also housing.
