St Luke's C of E (Evangelical) Church, Blakenhall, Wolverhampton
Built 1860-1861.
Pevsner: "[Robinson] could evidently be what Goodhart-Rendel called a rogue architect. The church is furiously unruly. Red brick with yellow and black brick, SW steeple with a highly fanciful spire. Windows with plate tracery. But the clerestory windows are spherical triangles filled with roundels. Polygonal chancel. Inside, the piers are of iron, thin and doubled - longtitudinally, not transversely. Who in the name of reason would do that?" Grade II listed. http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/listed/stlukesch.htm
Never mind all that! The church looks magnificent in the sunlight!

Factories on Upper Villiers Street
Edward Bullifant opened the Blakenhall Tin and Japan works on this greenfield site by 1884. John Marston bought the premises in 1898 and set up a factory to produce pedals for his Sunbeam Works on Paul Street as Villers Cycle Company and run by his son Charles. John Marston built his first Sunbeam car in an adjacent building and went on to build the extensive Moorfields Works from 1900. It is interesting to look through the archway to see the typical scale of workshop manufacturing of the late 19th century.
