Former cinema in Castle Street, Wolverhampton
This is the frontage of the main entrance to the Pavilion, which was the first cinema in Wolverhampton, opening in 1909. Whether it was in use as a variety venue before that I have yet to find out, but until it closed in 1915 or 1916, it seems to have been a dual purpose business. A 1906 ground plan can be seen here http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/leisure/cinemas which seems to show that it extended further along Castle Street (in both directions?), the adjacent frontage having been altered by the Express and Star who bought the premises in the (mid?) 1960s. It has been suggested by a former E & S employee that the cinema was then being used as a foundry. Since then it has been used as a paper store, but that has probably gone now because printing of the newspaper has been transferred to Telford. Clarification of any sort from local historians will be welcomed.
P.S. Shame about the chocolate coloured masonry paint!
Update: Stephen Richards notes that it was an early 1850s iron merchant's warehouse, partly rebuilt (Pevsner).

The Wheatsheaf in Market Street in Wolverhampton
The Wheatsheaf public house on the corner of Market Street and Tower Street is closed for business on this sunny warm weekday lunchtime.
On Monday 23 March 2020 all non-essential shops were closed by law, and people were instructed to stay at home because of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Three days earlier, all public houses, clubs, and restaurants were told to close until further notice. Food shops, pharmacies and pet supply shops stayed open.
In this image (on 7 May), it is lunchtime on a sunny warm spring weekday and the city centre is almost deserted.

The Wheatsheaf pub sign in Tower Street, Wolverhampton
This was glinting brightly in the sun today. Banks's is Wolverhampton's only remaining brewery - a good one, though the company (Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries) has seen fit to change its name to Marston's in 2007 since taking over that brewery in Burton in 1999.
Update. Andy Brough has established his brewery at the former Springfield Brewery site. http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2011/12/02/historic-springfield-brewery-is-making-ale-again/
