In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Wollaston like this:
WOLLASTON, a township-chapelry in Old Swinford parish, Worcester; 1½ mile NW of Stourbridge r. station. It has a post-office under Stourbridge. Pop. in 1851, 1,229; in 1861, 2,041. Houses, 418. The increase of pop. arose from the extension of glass manufacture, and from the operations of Land Societies. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Worcester. Value, £200. Patron, W. O. Foster, Esq.
