Former Church Institute on Graiseley Lane
Originally opened 1904 as a Church Institute this building has had many uses. A room was used as the Registrar's Office for births and deaths until Wednesfield Urban District Council was incorporated into Wolverhampton. In the early 1970s it was used as a nursery and dining room for the adjacent Catholic school until their facilities were built. Its latest use is as a snooker club.

A stretch of the Curly Wyrley
Pretty much the same piece of canal as Image, but photographed a few weeks later, by which time the lilies have flourished in the warm weather.
The Wyrley and Essington Canal (it's pronounced 'wurly' or 'whirly', hence the Curly Wurly is an alternative local name for this cut with its many corners) received its Parliamentary and Royal Assent in the early 1790s, and was built over the next few years under the guidance of the principal engineer William Pitt - presumably not the politician who went on to become William Pitt the Younger, Prime Minister in 1783, as he'd only have been in his late teens whilst building this. The canal's main stated purpose was to carry coal and limestone from the workings of the Staffordshire collieries around Cannock into the industrial area that would become known as The Black Country
