Wolverhampton, a historic Staffordshire market town, underwent a remarkable transformation during the Industrial Revolution, emerging as a major industrial hub renowned for its coal mining, metalworking, and steel production. The prosperity that this era brought to Wolverhampton is evident in the numerous buildings that dot the city's landscape, and the growing population necessitated the construction of a substantial public housing program in the early 20th century. The development of Wolverhampton continued to flourish post-war, with significant portions of the city's center undergoing reconstruction in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2000, Wolverhampton was granted city status, marking a significant milestone in its history. Despite the many changes that have occurred over the years, the city has managed to retain its strong identity in the West Midlands. Wolverhampton Reflections is a captivating collection of historic and modern photographs that seamlessly blend to showcase the area's evolution over the decades. Comprising a total of 180 pictures, this book combines contemporary color views of Wolverhampton with corresponding sepia-toned archive scenes. Through the clever use of the split-image effect, readers can observe the remarkable transformations that streets, buildings, and everyday life have undergone throughout the years. Local author Alec Brew presents this fascinating visual chronicle, offering a unique perspective on the past and present glimpses of Wolverhampton. This book holds immense interest for residents, visitors, local historians, and anyone with connections to the region.
