Bilston Street, Wolverhampton. The front elevation of 19 Bilston Street
This building probably started life as a private town house in the late 17th or 18th century. By the latter part of the 19th century it was home to the Conservative Club and later served as offices for Samuel Cassin Pritchard & Company Limited, Iron Streel and Mineral Merchants. The house was demolished and Wolverhampton Police Station now occupies the site. Historic England is the public body that champions and protects England's historic places. © Historic England Archive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the front elevation of 19 Bilston Street in Wolverhampton. The building, believed to have originated as a private town house during the late 17th or 18th century, holds a rich history within its walls. In the latter part of the 19th century, it became home to the Conservative Club and later transformed into offices for Samuel Cassin Pritchard & Company Limited, renowned Iron Steel and Mineral Merchants. Sadly, this once grand house met its demise and was eventually demolished. Today, standing in its place is Wolverhampton Police Station. The image evokes a sense of loss and destruction as we reflect upon the changing landscape brought about by industrialization. George Bernard Mason's skillful photography allows us to glimpse into the past and witness how time has shaped our surroundings. Through his lens, we are reminded of both progress and transformation that occur over generations. As we contemplate this photograph print from Historic England's collection, let us appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also ponder on how buildings like these hold stories that connect us to our heritage.
