I am attempting to give an impression of the Village as I see it, and for that purpose I propose starting on a little journey, eventually covering the whole of the Parish, in each case going from the Square to the boundary point, and keeping so far as possible to the main roads, with perhaps a few digressions, being of the opinion that Codsall will, without doubt, change its general aspect considerably within the next few years.  As the majority of the "parked" residences are secured against the "great invasion" for many years to come, I do not propose dealing with them in this isue.  Upon looking round the Square, the first impression is the combination of old and new.  The building shown, being what now remains of the old Codsall Manor House.  In the other illustration is seen the Motor Bus just starting out for Wolverhampton.  The shop on the corner of Station Road and Wood Road is

York's Grocery and Provision Stores. This old established business of E.J. York will be known by this name for many years to come, although now in the possession of C. A. Stockton who has re-stocked the Stores with the choicest selection of groceries and provisions. The "Bull" Hotel, standing prominently on the corner is under the proprietorship of T. H. Athersmith who displays a tempting sign for the thirsty.  This Hotel has good motor accommodation, pleasure grounds and a bowling green.  Parties are catered for.
