Working in partnership with the Wolverhampton Civic and Historical Society and with support from Heritage Lottery Fund, we have developed a walking map of war memorials across the city. This is an exciting chance to learn and discover the history of Wolverhampton's own World War One story and how it has been incorporated into our city's landscape. Here you can view an interactive map of war memorials across the city or alternatively download a printable PDF version.
Look out for the World War One benches that will be displayed in the City Centre, Bilston, Tettenhall and Wednesfield town centres! They will feature as a visual reminder of the 100th year anniversary since the end of World War One.
The silent soldiers are a Royal British Legion initiative, the silhouettes represent the soldiers who returned home from war, depicting them as they walked from train stations and barracks across the country. The silent soldiers can be found across the city, please click on the following link to view the locations. Please also visit ‘The there but not there’ soldiers here.
The lamppost poppies will serve as a reminder that Wolverhampton is remembering and paying tribute to those who served, died and were affected by World War One. They are a Royal British Legion initiative and will be cascaded throughout the City.
