Fordhouses
Fordhouses is a suburb of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. It is situated to the north of the city centre, adjacent to the border with Staffordshire, within the Bushbury North ward of Wolverhampton City Council. It is the most northerly part of the city alongside Pendeford, adjacent to the M54 motorway. ==Name and origins== The place name 'Fordhouses' refers to the houses situated alongside the Wolverhampton to Stafford road next to where the road crosses the Wobaston Brook. In 14th century subsidy rolls, folk living here were described as being 'atte forde'.〔Notes on Staffordshire Place Names By W H Duignan〕 This is the earliest known reference to people living in this area, though the nearby ''Wobaston'' place name is said by toponymists〔'The Place-Names of Staffordshire', by David Horovitz〕 to derive from 'Wibaldes tun' - likely the early English / Anglo-Saxon 'Wigbeald', with 'tun' meaning homestead or farmstead - so the name would literally mean ''the farmstead of Wigbeald''.
