Andrew_W_K Says: About 4 miles north of the city is the Elizabethan farmhouse of Moseley now a National Trust property. King Charles II is said to have hidden here after the battle of Worcester in 1651 during the English Civil War. The house is open at weekends and limited days during the...
Andrew_W_K Says: About 6 miles west of the city in the village of Wombourne are the Bratch Locks. An impressive set of three locks on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal complete with toll house that was opened in 1772. It's a popular spot with walkers, fishermen and familys at...
bonio Says: As I said earlier the purpose of our trip was to see a New Order gig here. It's an excellent place to watch live music, there's plenty of standing room and just a small balcony with seats, I'll stand every time, not so many places allow it now though - why is that?
Jannice48 Says: The Wolverhampton City Show which is held once a year in the West Park is now one of the most popular summertime events in the Midlands. It was my first visit to the Park since I was a little girl even though I don't live too far away, so it was a very nostalgic and...

acepups Says: Gives visiters an idea about how people in the black country lived in the past. As you walk round you go into a house and it is like going into someones home. There is someone there baking or cleaning or just having a drink. As soon as you step into the museum you step back...

bonio Says: City centre curryhouse, not too far from the Civic Centre so, ideal for us. First ones in early on a Sunday evening, attentive service and a good quality curry. Mrs Bonio especially impressed with her vegetarian thali.
The Queens: Cantonese Restaurant
Maggies Says: It was all deliciuos and I'm convinced that the fact that I was starving had nothing to do with it. It was just excellent chinese, all of it, and they serve it really quick. Well, they served it into my car parked just outside in only few minutes.This is the list what I can...
Local pubs: Bonio's good beer guide
bonio Says: We managed to visit a couple of pubs, both sold recommendable beer. They were:-Combermere Arms on Tettenhall Road, handily between the centre and our hotel, then,Posada, right in the centre, a good pint of Landlord for me.

Helpfulness
I have put the Crooked House on the off the beaten track instead of places to visit because that is exactly where it is. Situated off the Himley Road down Crooked House Lane which is narrow in places that you have to pull over to let the cars pass coming in the opposite direction you will arrive at a dead end which is where you will find the Crooked House. It is a very popular tourist attraction and in the summer months gets very very busy. Built in 1765 as a farmhouse in an area that was extensively mined for coal. The southern part of the house sank by several feet when the area was hit by a subsidence problem. The building survived and later became a pub known as Siden House (Siden being Black Country dialect for crooked). It was later named the Glynne Arms after Sir Steven Glynne the landowner and and brother in law to William Gladstone. The pub was condemned in the 1940's but the decision was reversed when Wolverhampton and Dudley Breweries bought it and later became know by its present name The Crooked House. It is one of the few pubs where you can feel disoriented and dizzy without touching a drop. Visitors can experience a variety of optical illusions including marbles rolling uphill and drinks sliding up the table. The Crooked house is supposedly Haunted

Benson35 Says: This match took place at the Molineux Stadium. I enjoyed it here (and it's not just because we won 2 goals to nil!). The prices were as to be expected - expensive! The concourse is big enough to hold all of us fans, but there are not enough female toilets. The queues were...

This page has been created soley to inform you all about my trip to the Molineux Stadium to watch Wolves play football.
There's always been a reason why I could not see a New Order gig, until now. Finally caught up with them at the Civic Hall, Oct 2006, excellent, lived up to expectations. We stopped over for the night...
As someone who worked for 18 years in Wolverhampton I can say with some authority that there isn't much to attract the tourists. Having only been granted city status around 10 years ago there are no...
