Pool Street in Wolverhampton
Looking north from near the junction with Jeddo Street.
On the left is part of the former Sunbeam works, which is undergoing major regeneration to transform it into apartments.
Aerial images of this very extensive site are well worth looking at.
Sunbeam, registered in 1888, was once famous for its motorcycles and cars, but the 120,000 square feet (1.12 hectare) site off the Penn Road island has been empty since 1999. It was being purchased in 2013, and planning permission was being sought (and granted) for a range of residential developments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbeam_%28car_company%29 http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/article/4787/Bright-future-for-former-Sunbeam-factory http://www.expressandstar.com/news/2014/06/20/10m-transformation-of-wolverhampton-factory-granted-green-light/

Looking into Sunbeamland
The sheds within the courtyard have been demolished. The concrete lift shaft suggests further construction work is planned.

Transforming Sunbeamland
The 1880s bicycle factory is finally finding a new future as apartments. The window replacements are much more practical than the original metal frames.
