Finchfield

Finchfield was a small village before the early 20th century, when parcels of agricultural land and the gardens and grounds of gentlemen were sold off for housing. Until 1974, Finchfield was a district of South Staffordshire.

Windmill Community Church is a non-denominational Christian church.

Finchfield library was one of nine Wolverhampton libraries that the City Council planned to close or merge under plans to create 'community hubs' in the city. In November 2012, after a consultation showed strong opposition, the council announced that Finchfield library and some others would remain open.

Westacre Infant school and Uplands Junior school are situated in this area. There are also two public houses, "The Chestnut Tree" and "Westacres".

In the centre of Finchfield is a Lidl supermarket. In 2013 this was the subject to a public inquiry after it appealed refusal of planning permission to extend the store that would have led to the demolition of a Victorian era property. The Planning Inspectorate finally granted permission for the extension.

There have been several criminal incidents around the shopping parade at Finchfield Road West, notably an armed robbery at the Co-Op store in September 2012. In response residents, with the backing of West Midlands Police, set up a 'Shopwatch' to record incidents of anti-social behaviour, graffiti and fly tipping.
