Talk to me about Wolverhampton looking to move in 3-4 years time when older one buys a home

We’re a mixed family so want to move to a diverse but nice area we will have about 300k to spend

I met mine at penn road skate park Grin

9amtrain · 17/09/2018 20:11

You know whether we live there or not how?

TheZeppo · 17/09/2018 20:15

I bet we have all met in the bar queue 😂

gilmoregal · 17/09/2018 20:16

Northern- Did you go just to watch? My now husband also used to be at Skate Park at 15/16. I may have gone there with friends to look at him.

NorthernRunner · 17/09/2018 20:18

Oh my god yes, just to eye up the boys. We must know each other!

gilmoregal · 17/09/2018 20:19

Northern- How funny, we must!

Alelujah has it right IMO. I grew up in Wolverhampton and still visit almost weekly. I love how friendly the people are. I'd also add the roads around West Park have some lovely houses and it's a very culturally diverse area local to lots of churches. I'd really recommend going and driving around there and the other areas Alelujah mentioned.

I’m in wednesfield! Hero’s and the varsity were my places of choice!! I met my other half in revolution!

zenasfuck · 17/09/2018 20:48

80p drinks at hero's on Tuesday nights anyone ?

I loved the canal club and Euro bar too

Did anyone go to Kipp's ?

Flatwhite101 · 17/09/2018 20:57

I'm disappointed no-one's mentioned the cowboy yet!

NorthernRunner · 17/09/2018 21:15

The cowboy that turned into the Jesus preacher? 🤣

TheZeppo · 17/09/2018 21:17

Euro bar! God this is turning into a right trip down memory lane 😂

zenasfuck · 17/09/2018 21:17

And Ezra the preacher

The cowboy was crazy

poppym12 · 17/09/2018 21:23

The cowboy with the cassette player on his shoulder?

MadisonAvenue · 17/09/2018 21:29

Is this the same cowboy who used to walk around in the 80s? I remember a bloke who was always in the town centre around 84-85ish dressed in full cowboy gear and he'd point his (hopefully) fake guns at people. Pretty sure there was a cassette player too.

NorthernRunner · 17/09/2018 21:35

madison yes that’s the one 👍🏻😂

It was great around 2006-2010 Grin

Flatwhite101 · 17/09/2018 21:46

That's the cowboy, but wasn't/still isn't that old! Has given up the outfit and cassette player and taken up with the street preachers now.

Flatwhite101 · 17/09/2018 21:48

Sorry, re-read that properly. Realised you meant 1985, not 85 years old Blush

Goingalonenow · 17/09/2018 21:51

I'm from Varsity days 2006ish? Then onto Planet. Donkey the taxi driver was around. Massive group of emo/pop punk idiots who everyone in town knew.

Over600Ecalypts · 17/09/2018 22:02

I remember the Lord Raglan as an Indie disco. And The Dorchester.

The Gifford Arms..... Discuss...

Gravelface · 17/09/2018 22:03

Oh, Canal Club! That's bought back some memories. How lovely that someone met their husband there. A man stood on my toe and broke it in there. Ha!

I do have the odd night out in Wolves centre and there are a few brill bars, and the Dog & Doublet which is ace.

TheZeppo · 17/09/2018 22:09

I worked the odd shift at The Gifford Arms! And LOVED the Dorchester!

Goingalonenow · 17/09/2018 22:12

I used to drink in Giff but only in the summer, so I could stand outside
