Woods Bank[1] is an area of Darlaston in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall in the West Midlands county in England.[2] It is located to the southwest of Darlaston town centre and close to the Black Country New Road as well as the nearby village of Moxley.[3] It is primarily a residential estate and is close to the town of Bilston, bordering the boroughs of Sandwell and Wolverhampton.[4]
The number of houses in the Wood Green area increased by up to 87% between 1841 and 1871, and a sanitary report of 1875 describes a dwelling there as of one lower and one upper room, with no ventilation or back door. The area was described as "a distinct location of poor ironworkers".[5]
