Bushbury history


Bushbury was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Biscopsberie’ The area was assigned by William the Conqueror to Ansculf de Picquigny, who built a motte and bailey fortress at Dudley. In medieval times, the area was divided into several manors, each with a manor house. In 1927, the Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company opened its Bushbury plant. The industry led to rapid housebuilding in the 1930s, and made the area a significant target for German bombers in the Second World War.
