Wolverhampton Ð a
Millennium City
Bordering the beautiful countryside of
Staffordshire and Shropshire, Wolverhampton is at the heart of the road and
rail networks and just 17 miles from Birmingham. As one of BritainÕs newest
cities with a population of 239,400 Wolverhampton is a modern, thriving centre
for commerce and culture. It has
been called the City of the Black Country.

are many opportunities for learning and enrichment. Combine this with a vibrant mix of shopping, art, theatre,
sport and night-life and Wolverhampton becomes a City to visit, live, work,
study and worship. The CityÕs new
