Brook Street, Gornal Wood.
Shops are no longer trading from Brook Street, but at one time several shops
were adapted from small dwellings, or at least in part, to commercial use.
Some buildings have since been demolished and the land redeveloped with newer houses, older properties have reverted back to private use.  .
