Description
Lost Wolverhampton presents a unique perspective on the city's transformation over the last century. From its Anglo-Saxon roots to its current status as a thriving West Midlands town, this photographic history showcases the industries, buildings, and people that have shaped Wolverhampton. The city's rich industrial heritage is still visible in its many civic buildings from the Middle Ages, while large areas of social housing were built in the 20th century to accommodate the growing population. However, much has changed since the urban planning schemes of the 1960s and 1970s, and later regeneration schemes for the city centre. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing not only the industries and buildings that have disappeared but also the people and street scenes that remain. With its unique blend of history, architecture, and photography, Lost Wolverhampton will appeal to anyone with a connection to the area or an interest in the region's rich heritage.
