A row of six shops at the end of Park Road, built in the late 1950s by Tomlinson Bros of Sedgley.
Serving the Stickley Estate, these shops weres once thriving with fish & chip shop, butchers, hairdressers, hardware, grocery and a clothes shop, they had become neglected by the 1990's and an eyesore during their later years.

During the 1960s, the clothes and wool shop at the near end was run by the parents of the BBC reporter and presenter, Sue Lawley.

Above the shops were Council owned maisonettes, the entrance to the maisonettes was at the rear of the building in Park House Gardens.

The shops were demolished in 2008 and the plot was vacant for a couple of years, in 2011 work started on redevelopment.
Six modern one bedroom bungalows now occupy this site, the red post box has also gone.

The Ellowes pub - later renamed The Spriggers Arms, once stood opposite and suffered the same plight, the pub was built in the early sixties and demolished by the end of the century.

The following businesses were trading in the block in the 1980s.

The above photo looks along Park House Gardens off Ellowes Road, all residents had been removed and the building is getting ready for demolition, the road has also now disappeared.
