Dudley Road School, Wolverhampton
The school was opened in 1875, and closed in 1986. I remember in the early 1980s it was being used as an excellent language centre for teaching English and reading/writing to children of non-English speaking families, and other children with reading difficulties. I believe it was closed because it was costing too much to do a valuable and well structured job properly. The building is now "listed" and used as a community centre.

British Trolleybuses - Wolverhampton
By the time I visited Wolverhampton's trolleybus system, it was reduced to the long route 58 to Dudley. This view is noted as taken on Dudley Road. Modern aerial views have not enabled the location to be confirmed - there is no sign of a building now to match the chapel in the background - but I was reasonably sure that I had it correct, with the street to the right of the trolleybus being Johnson Street. Roger Kidd's up-to-date image http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/568941 shows the same location some 40 years later.

Temple, Dudley Road, Wolverhampton
This temple, the Ek Niwas Universal Divine Temple, was opened in 1995. It seems to involve Sikh and Hindu faiths. Its bright appearance is sometimes compromised by the large dogs which "welcome" interested passers by.
