Warstones is a suburban area of Wolverhampton, England, situated to the south-west of the city centre. It is home to Warstones Wanderers F.C.
Warstones has three schools, within half a mile of each other: Highfields School, Springdale and Warstones. Not far away are Smestow School sports college and Colton Hills Community School.
There is also a youth centre; the YWCA.
Warstones has many facilities such as a library and many shops.
It is the location of some of Wolverhampton's first post World War II council houses, built around Enville Road in the second half of the 1940s.[1]
In the past few years[when?] there have been some problems in the area. Gang culture was a major issue. West Midlands Police tackled the problem by putting a curfew on the area for a short while and putting a police station in the area.
Notable former residents of Warstones Estate include Slade guitarist Dave Hill[2] and journalist and writer Caitlin Moran.[3] Another well known resident was Peter Knowles who boarded on the estate when he came to play for Wolves.
