Construction has started on 57 affordable homes on the former site of a Bilston social club

The homes will breathe new life into the site where the demolished Springvale Sports and Social Club once stood on Millfields Road.

The one and two-bedroom flats are being delivered by GreenSquareAccord (GSA).

Dating back to 1939, the Springvale Sports and Social Club was partly built using funds raised by employees at a nearby ironworks.

The former clubhouse has given its name to GSA’s new development.

Michael Nolan, head of development at GSA, said: “I am delighted to see spades in the ground at our Springvale housing scheme.

“This is the second stage of the development with the initial phase seeing office space previously used by GSA  converted into 24 one-and two-bedroom apartments let for an affordable rent.
