Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton is an industrial city and metropolitan borough of the West Midlands, England. It has long been associated with heavy industry such as steel and vehicle manufacturing, and this is reflected in the city's strong connection with its working-class culture. Wolverhampton is located in the heart of what's known as the Black Country. This region was the centre of Britain's heavy industries, so termed 'Black Country' because of the excessive air pollution and coal grit eminating from the ubiquitous steel mills and iron foundries.
