EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Wolverhampton during the late 19th century. The image showcases the iconic Star and Garter Royal Hotel, a prominent establishment that once graced Victoria Street. Standing tall and proud, this architectural gem exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. In the foreground, we are greeted by a charming scene featuring a horse-drawn carriage parked outside the hotel's entrance. The magnificent steed stands patiently as its driver attends to his duties. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates a bygone era when such carriages were not only modes of transportation but also symbols of sophistication. The Star and Garter Royal Hotel was undoubtedly a hub of activity during its heyday between 1875-1885. Its walls witnessed countless stories unfold within its luxurious interiors, hosting esteemed guests from near and far who sought respite or indulgence in its opulent accommodations. Sadly, progress dictated that this architectural masterpiece would meet its demise in the 1960s when urban development took precedence over historical preservation. As new shopping centers emerged on Victoria Street, this beloved landmark was lost forever. Nevertheless, through this evocative photograph, we can still appreciate the timeless charm that once defined Wolverhampton's cityscape. It serves as both a testament to our rich history and a reminder to cherish and protect our heritage for generations to come.
