Midland Metro tram no. 12 in Bilston Road
Midland Metro just has one line, running between Birmingham Snow Hill Railway Station and Wolverhampton. Most of the route uses a former railway line between the two cities. But along Bilston Road in Wolverhampton, there is a long street-running section, where trams mix with other road traffic. Tram no. 12 was photographed a few weeks after the line opened in 1999. Image

Red Lion (2) - sign, 252 Bilston Road, Wolverhampton
The Red Lion remains the most common name given to public houses, although probably there have been no new Red Lions since Victorian times. The name derives from King James VI of Scotland, who inherited the English throne in 1603, on the death of Queen Elizabeth. He became King James I of England, and to reinforce his authority to rule, he decreed that all public buildings (including taverns) must display a heraldic red lion in a prominent position. This resulted in many pubs acquiring the Red Lion name. Clearly this particular Red Lion pub wasn't around in the 17th century, but the tradition of giving this name to pubs seems to have carried on for a long time. According to The Inn Sign Society's website, there are thought to be about 600 Red Lion pubs.

The Red Lion, Monmore Green
I had no idea Wolverhampton had trams (they look like the Croydon ones I do know well) but it was the first time I'd ever been here.
