Gorsebrook
Gorsebrook is an historic area of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, located alongside the Stafford Road between the areas of Dunstall, Oxley and Bushbury. ==Place name and origins== The first mention of Gorsebrook is in the 985 AD Charter where King Æthelred grants 10 hides of land to Wulfrun primarily in the Wolverhampton area. The place name appears in the bounds of the grant, in Old English at both the beginning and the end as ''gose broc''. The modern translation for this is ''goose brook''.〔http://www.esawyer.org.uk/charter/860.html# Electronic Sawyer Online Catalogue of Anglo-Saxon Charters, S 860〕〔The Place-Names of Staffordshire, by David Horovitz (2005)〕 The brook in question likely refers to the section of the Smestow Brook that winds east to west through this area.
