This sub-section for shops of Upper Gornal and Ruiton.
Clarence Street and Kent Street skirt the old turnpike road from Dudley to Sedgley-Wolverhampton.
These two streets offered the greater part of the shop premises in Upper Gornal, this route was also very well populated
with Public Houses.

In the past, Kent Street was the principal shopping street of Upper Gornal, but very few of the original shop buildings
remain.
A shopping parade was built off Kent Street in the 1960s, and this now constitutes the main shopping area
in Upper Gornal.
Excepting the Parade, very few shops are now trading on this busy thoroughfare which then continues with Clarence Street and now part
of the busy A459.
Only a few shop premises are still trading in Clarence Street, a notable feature is the modern Texaco petrol
station, opposite a very useful DIY store.
Apart from the those along the main road, the remainder of Upper Gornal and Ruiton is now totally devoid of shops.
Additional content is always appreciated, see the menu items.
