Found the photo but its not the one I was thinking of

The one outside St Marys is the one from High Street Methodist Church which must have been moved. I doesnt help that it doesnt say where it was situated

Though I am intrigued as to why there should be a picture of a lifeboat in Wolverhampton ?!

Hi Willow

I wasn't sure if it was OK to post links here.   There are two photos of the Henry Fowler fountain on the Black Country History site.  The one showing the street and pub behind is on this link -

http://www.blackcountryhistory.org.uk/blackcountry/ShowImage.aspx?img=http://www.blackcountryhistory.org.uk/blackcountry/wolverhamptonimages/%C2%A9p0003051.jpg

The other photo is a close-up of the eroded engraving.

Cheers

Hiya Judijee

I dont recognise the pub and unfortunately the name of the street is just out of view - grrrrr!

Do you recognise it Tony? It could be the George and Dragon in Broad Lanes though I think their door is in the middle

I might be worth dropping the Archives office an e-mail to see if they could tell you

Hiya Willow

Yes, I'll contact Wolverhampton Archives and ask them if they can identify the street name.   Thanks for looking!

Quote from: Jumbled Jim on Tuesday 24 March 09 08:37 UTC (UK)

Any ideas how I could track down reports of William Wellings industrial accident and that of Joseph Bunce who died on 29th August 1891, although apparently the accident had happened a week or so previously? It's just conceivable that they were both mortally injured in the same "explosion". I've tried all the obvious on the internet.....but then Willow made that breakthrough where I had failed. Just goes to show that more than one working on something or taking a break and going back to a problem often results in a solution.
Thanks again.JJ

JJ, I'm sure I read an account (with photo) of the devastation when a large boiler exploded and collapsed at Bilston. I think it was on the Wolverhampton Archives website, under Bilston history. I will check through my docs and see if I still have it. I don't think it mentioned any names though.

The wall above the tram line behind St Leonards has a poem about a boiler exploding on it - I wonder if it relates to this incident? (Was only put up in the last few years)
