Wolverhampton is the 13th most populous city in England. It is located in West Midlands, England, and has a population of about 250,000 people. The city is also nicknamed Wolves. It was a market town which during the Industrial Revolution became a major industrial centre. Today the city is still an industrial centre in West Midlands with japanned ware, steel jewellery and the aerospace industry being the big employers.
Although the majority of the buildings in the city centre of Wolverhampton date from the turn of the 20th century, its oldest building - the St Peter's Church - dates to the 13th century, though largely refurbished during the 15th.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
