Castlecroft

Castlecroft is a suburb of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, located on the edge of the city, WSW of the city centre. It is situated where the Merry Hill, and Tettenhall Wightwick wards meet, and also borders South Staffordshire.

It has two distinct parts, divided by a former railway line. The eastern part is mostly 1930s private housing, the western part mostly 1950s council housing. Castlecroft is where Smestow Secondary school and Castlecroft Primary school are situated. Bhylls Acre Primary school is also in the area, but thanks to historical accident, it falls under the jurisdiction of Staffordshire County Council.

The name Castlecroft is derived from Castlecroft House, a large house and former hotel that was converted into flats in 2004/2005.
