| has gloss | eng: Blakenhall is a ward in Wolverhampton, England. It was developed during the late 19th century just south of the town centre, with hundreds of terraced houses, some with shop fronts, being built on the main road towards Sedgley as well as many being built in the side streets running off. The next major development in Blakenhall took place in the 1960s when several tower blocks were constructed. The tallest of these tower blocks, Cobden House, was demolished by a controlled explosion in August 2002. Two smaller tower blocks were cleared in mechanical demolitions during 2007. Only one tower block now remains in Blakenhall. |
