The Sunbeam in Wolverhampton
This is a new public house and "Hungry Horse" restaurant in the pedestrianised development by the new bus station, to the east of Piper's Row. Try the "Curry and a drink for £5" on Wednesdays! Wetherspoon's has caused other chain pubs to fight back!

The Queen's Building, Wolverhampton
This was designed by Edward Banks in the Italianate style and built in 1849 from yellow brick and sandstone columns and two storeys topped by two square turrets, both of which used to have clocks. It was originally a ticket office and with offices above and entrance to the railway station. The two centre arches were for carriages to pass through; pedestrians used the narrower arches by the sides. The decision to preserve the building was made just in time in 1978, but work was not carried out until the late 1980s when the bus station was being developed. At the same time, the two single storey side sections were added, compare here: http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/DavidClare2/TownCentre.htm

What a pity that a 20th century metal sculpture has been allowed to be placed centrally in front of the historic architecture.

Wolverhampton Bus Station
After eighteen months of disruption the new £22.5M bus station opened yesterday. The only problem is that half of the local services no longer call here!

Cycle hire base by Wolverhampton Bus Station
This is at the northern end of Fryer Street.
Looking north-east towards the railway station.
Wolverhampton did have a version of "Boris Bikes" several years ago (2017?), but they did not thrive, and soon disappeared. Now the West Midlands Cycle Hire project has a base here. https://www.expressandstar.com/news/transport/2021/03/09/free-offer-for-cyclists-as-new-city-bike-hire-scheme-launched/
