Wednesfield: Black Country Suburb with a Trap Making Past in Wolverhampton
Wednesfield is a district of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, about two miles north-east of the city centre. The population is around 22,000. The name derives from "Woden's field," referring to the Anglo-Saxon god; the Battle of Tettenhall in AD 910, a significant English victory over a Danish-Norse army, may have taken place in the area. Wednesfield was historically known for trap making (animal traps) and lock manufacturing, part of the wider Black Country metalworking tradition.
The High Street has a mix of independent shops and some chain stores. Wednesfield Park provides the main public green space. The Bentley Bridge retail park, with a leisure complex and large stores, sits on the northern edge. The area is served by buses into Wolverhampton centre and by Wolverhampton railway station (about ten minutes away), which has direct services to Birmingham New Street and London Euston. The M6 is accessible at Junction 11. For adult companionship in Wednesfield, English law applies.
