If you're passing Bantock House Museum this week you will see a sign for the inaugural Wolverhampton Transport Festival. Unfortunately, despite telling them twice it starts at 10:00, Wolves Council have printed that it starts at 11. Whether you get there for 10 or 11, we will be open!

Join us on 28/5 to learn about Wolverhampton-born Catherine Eddowes. Sadly known for being one of Jack the Ripper's 5 victims, there was far more to her life than her tragic end. Dr Lucy Andrew will look at Kate's life and the birth of "Ripper Culture". ticketstripe.com/events/8663104…

Great event unveiling a #blueplaque for Dora Penny this weekend. Well organised by The Wolverhampton Society and well hosted by Wolves in their Board Room. David Guest was also a thoroughly knowledgeable and passionate plaque sponsor.
