To be honest it was quite a grey day during your filming, but if some one was to visit during spring time and on a sunny day, Saint peters church area can be quite photogenic area. The workers do an amazing job, maintaining the surrounding landscape areas.
Nice video. I’m a Wolverhampton born and bred. Pity you missed the Saxon cross in St Peters gardens. The Wolverhampton Pillar is the shaft of an Anglo-Saxon High cross, still standing in its original location. It is a scheduled ancient monument, and probably dates from around AD 996 when a college was founded at this site. The decoration is of an extremely rare type, and has survived the effects of weathering comparatively well. It consists of seven bands, depicting vine scrolls, various animals, acanthus, and lattice-work
Lived there 1977-89 age 5-18. On one hand it's quite nice seeing some little businesses on Worcester/Victoria Street are still going, like Banerjees Studio, Harmeer Travels, the Red House and Hough's where I used to get my hair cut, but overall it's tragic to see how places like Beatties are empty, Waring and Gillow gone, and lots of other little shops where I remember buying Pioneer CD players or cooking equipment (the Cook's Haven) are now either vacant, or charity / betting shops.
Born in Wolverhampton but now live in the US, so nice to have virtual visit to my home town after 9 years, amazed to see how much has changed but also sad to see some places have been neglected, I hope Wolverhampton prospers in the very near future.
I'm glad to hear it! Wolverhampton is a city full of history and impressive architecture - some parts of course need a bit of love but others really are wonderful to look at! And as you mentioned in your other comment, the area around St. Peter's really shines under the sun - it was a bit of a shame about the weather on this day :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back some memories of your hometown!
Though I'm originally from Dudley this is my city now, sadly as with many West Midlands towns they have let parts fall into ruin and fail to celebrate the history. Great video also.
Thank you so much - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. As you say there is a lot of history to the town of the Black Country but it's not quite as well-known around the country...Hopefully this video goes a little way to showcasing what the likes of Wolverhampton and Dudley have to offer :)
Ha ha that sounds like a good system! I hope this video brought back some nice memories of those afternoons in Wolverhampton - and thank you very much for watching!
@@LetsWalkUK thank you for your kind words! Forgot to mention that next step in my Fri ritual was to take bus 529. Wolverhampton - Walsall. Stepping out in Willenhall Market for drink.
You're saving me a fortune in National Express coach tickets, LW ! :-) Many of these towns and cities you are visiting are places I've been curious about and it's great just to see the layout of the centres with your research giving very useful, concise info on each place. I'm enjoying the football info too. I imagine some of these places will benefit from a bit of summer sun, but in their own way these 'grey day' vlogs are perhaps more authentic of our daily experience in England.
Thank you so much! I really hope these videos are just like exploring the UK for you - much like you I have never been to many of these towns and cities - but they are really fascinating! As for the grey, I always love a sunny day walk, but you're right - cloudy weather is a more accurate representation of everyday England :) Thank you for watching as always! I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Lindy Lou's is a rather unusual building indeed, especially with that date - just one part of Wolverhampton's fascinating history :) Thanks for watching!
@@streetrambler134 I'm really glad to hear that! I had a look at some of your videos too - you have a much more detailed look at life in Wolverhampton! Thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy the Dudley video :)
Ha ha wow! I suppose it is rather a grand bank like most of the buildings around there - they might not have that kind of architecture down under :) Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the video!
Shops mostly closed down and the graceful public buildings seem not in use, industry long gone. The council are in control sub way and paddy Power and aldi
Its a disgrace,an example of mainly of LABOUR COUNCILS mis management, both the centre where more and mire shops get boarded and surrondings estate's are mainly no go areaswas born in Springfields 86yrs ago and since from the 70s its got to being a dumping ground ,
Enjoyable but a few observations. First the fabric of the city, is largely Victorian and Edwardian as you say. What a shame that just about everything built after that is undistinguished at best. The Council have done a good job with paving in the centre but the city is the least leafy of any in Britain. It is all hard surfaces with no trees, pockets of green space etc. What you refer to as churches from the Nineteenth century are in fact chapels, built by Noncomformists. You not mention one of the most striking new features- there are now nine mosques in the city reflecting the profound change in the population. Finally, 19 Victoria Street is not ‘Tudor’ as you allege ( there is no such style). The building dates from 1300 and was remodeled in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is built in the vernacular West Midland style of box framing.

Very Well Explained thank you 🌹
Great walk can't wait to see more soon 😀
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - do stay tuned for more :)
When I was living in Birmingham I used to go to Wolverhampton by tram. Friday afternoon. For some drink, just walk around, to beer factory, etc.
Ha ha that sounds like a good system! I hope this video brought back some nice memories of those afternoons in Wolverhampton - and thank you very much for watching!

My goodness, you must of staggered back to B,ham lol.

You're welcome - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, Wolverhampton is a great city :)
Great video!!! A hug from Trieste!!!
Great walk, did not know about the date on Lindy Lou's.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Lindy Lou's is a rather unusual building indeed, especially with that date - just one part of Wolverhampton's fascinating history :)
Thanks for watching!
@@LetsWalkUK Indeed I do a lot of filming in Wolverhampton. Found your walking video very informative, will be checking out the Dudley one later.
@@streetrambler134 I'm really glad to hear that! I had a look at some of your videos too - you have a much more detailed look at life in Wolverhampton!
Thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy the Dudley video :)
What a beautiful.
There is some really beautiful architecture in Wolverhampton! It's an underrated city :)
Thanks for watching - I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
When my family visited from Australia a few years ago they thought Barclays bank in Queens Square was a castle!!!!
Ha ha wow! I suppose it is rather a grand bank like most of the buildings around there - they might not have that kind of architecture down under :)
Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the video!
Lucru în anglia la sere la coriandru
To be fair to them, the architecture in Queen's Square is rather beautiful.
Why is everywhere silent in Wolverhampton
👍
Thanks for watching!
Why people are not there a feww🤔
