Bushbury

Bushbury is a suburb of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. It lies two miles north-east of Wolverhampton city centre, divided between the Bushbury North and Bushbury South and Low Hill wards.

It is a mixed area of private and council owned houses, built since the 1920s, and lies in the shadow of Bushbury Hill. The large Bushbury Cemetery/Crematorium, with two chapels, east and west, is in Underhill Lane.

The Northicote School is located in this area, where previous headteacher Geoff Hampton received a Knighthood in 1998 in recognition of his services to the improvement of the school and his services to education.

Bushbury steam locomotive depot accommodated LMS and British Railways London Midland Region locos until closure in 1966 and was located where Bushbury Lane crosses the railway line to Stafford.
