The most famous former resident of the Priory Estate is Duncan Edwards , who was born two miles away at Holly Hall but moved to 31 Elm Road as a small child and went on to play 18 times for England as well as winning two Football League championships with Manchester United before he died in 1958 at the age of 21 from injuries sustained in the Munich air disaster . As a child , he had attended Priory Primary School and then Wolverhampton Street School . After his death , a stained glass window was dedicated to Edwards at St Francis parish church at the junction of Laurel Road and Poplar Crescent . The church was founded during 1931 and originally based at Priory Hall before the church building on the newly developed housing estate was opened on 10 May 1932
