Wolverhampton (Low Level) Station
The station opened in 1854, and the last passenger services ran in 1972. A long saga of preservation and redevelopment plans for the now Grade II listed station buildings has still yet to be finalised. The latest scheme (October 2011) is for the provision of a banqueting suite (two halls) and conference hall. I think I prefer that to the recently abandoned idea for a �6 million casino.

In the rear is the 2009 Victoria Hall, which includes a 24-storey tower costing �24 million.
