More about this scene

The balustraded tower of St Thomas' church provides a nice focal point here. Originally built in 1750, it was so badly damaged by fire in 1902 that it had to be rebuilt. Locals used to say that the fire damage was so severe because the Wolverhampton fire brigade was slow to arrive - frequent stops were necessary to rest the horses.
