==Railway== Princes End had two railway stations, but neither are in existence now. One was [[Princes End and Coseley railway station]], which was situated on the line between [[Dudley]] and [[Bilston]]. It closed in 1962 under the [[Beeching Axe]] and by the end of the 1960s the line was in total disuse. The other station, [[Princes End railway station]], closed in 1916 under a wartime economy measure, although the line - which ran to [[Wednesbury]] - remained open to goods trains until 1981, with the final stub leading up to Ocker Hill Power Station remaining open until 1991. The former section of line between Princes End and Ocker Hill also marks the divide between Princes End and The Tibbington Estate, The Glebefields Estate and Moat Farm Estates "LOST CITY" That come under Ocker Hill and was converted into a public walkway at the end of the 1980s.
