Description:Wimblebury came into existence as village to accommodate incoming coal miners and their families in about 1870. It was named after an existing farm. It is now contiguous with Heath Hayes (named after Heathy Hayes Farm) in an area originally known as Five Ways.
This view is of John Street and Wimblebury Road looking towards the Trafalgar Inn at Littleworth which can be seen at the end of the road in the distance. The railway crossing gates for the mineral line can be seen on the slope approaching Littleworth.
The public house on the left was the Miners Arms, since demolished. The corner shop advertising Colman's Starch is at the junction of Glover Street. In 1901 the publican of the Miners Arms was Daniel Roberts, born in Tipton, and that of the Lamb and Flag was James Taylor, born in Brackley who married a Wimblebury woman..
