Moving to Wolverhampton?
Wolverhampton is a city in the West Midlands. It was granted city status in December
2000, as part of the Millenium Celebrations. The name ‘Wolverhampton’ is commonly
believed to have come from ‘Lady Wulfruna’, a Saxon noblewoman and extensive landowner.
She founded the town in 985. The name ‘Wulfruna’ can be seen throughout the city
in the shape of important buildings, and centres, for example, the Wulfrun Centre
– which is a large shopping mall. People from Wolverhampton are commonly referred
to as Wulfrunians! The city has three nicknames, obvious abbreviations of Wolverhampton,
and these are, Wolves, Wolvo and W’ton.
The city is a very multi-cultural place with people from all over the world, including
a large Sikh population, originating from the Indian State of Punjab. Many colourful
shops and restaurants are representative of this ethnic diversity.
In 1927 Wolverhampton, rather randomly, was the first place in England to have automatic
traffic lights installed! These can be found in Princes Square, and still sport
the traditional striped poles.
Wolverhampton originally was a bustling market town, specialising in the wool trade.
Its biggest industries are now mainly engineering based, and there is a large aerospace
industry here.
Since the 18th Century Wolverhampton has held world recognition for its production
of japanned products (European imitation of Asian lacquerwork, mainly used on furniture),
and steel jewellery. In 1884 Wolverhampton Art Gallery was established, this then
had close connections with the School of Practical Arts, which opened in the 1850s.
Robert Emerson taught here, with his most famous student being Sir Charles Wheeler.
Many other notable artists and professors have been a part of this well-known school’s
history.
The city has a strong sporting history, and present! The Wolverhampton Wanderers
FC, more commonly known as ‘Wolves’, is one of the oldest English football clubs.
The city is also home to England’s only floodlit horse track. One can find greyhound
racing, athletics, cycling and more, in this sporty city.
There is also a long and prolific music history coming out of Wolverhampton. A great
number of music venues can be found here, as well as some nationally respected galleries,
theatres and museums. It is a growing city with many opportunities and much to keep
one occupied all-year round!
