Walking Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton is often considered to be one of the least glamorous cities in England. It is generally imagined, by people who have never visited the city, as a drab, depressing, semi-derelict relic to a bygone industrial era.
Whilst Wolverhampton’s industrial glory days may largely be behind it, to those of us who live here, there is nothing drab or depressing about it. Wolverhampton is full of fascinating industrial history, infrastructure and architecture. There is also a surprising amount open green spaces, attractive suburbs and pre-industrial historical sites.
Join us in a series of walks around the city exploring the city’s rich history, heritage and hidden curiosities.
