Originally envisaged as a gateway into Wolverhampton, Queen Street has long been considered a key feature of the town from the Georgian period onwards. Whether you can recall the Congregational Church or Snape's Tea Shop, most Wulfrunians will have a memory of Queen Street.
Our opening talk of the season will look back its history, including the city's first hospital, the atheneum, or the home of the city's newspaper.
