The first community conversation for City Centre West in Wolverhampton has closed this week, with the team now collating and reviewing feedback to help shape the regeneration opportunity.

We signed a Development Agreement with the Council, after the partnership was approved by the Cabinet, in July 2024. The decision kick-started an initial community conversation with Wolverhampton residents and other interested groups.

City Centre West has been identified by the Council as a priority location for brownfield regeneration. With the potential to deliver up to 1,000 new homes (including affordable homes), as well as shops, cafes, restaurants, and an enhanced Market Square.

City Centre West is the largest regeneration opportunity in Wolverhampton city centre, and we are working in partnership with the Council to deliver this project.

Held over two days, the team spent time in Wolverhampton city centre to hear from the community directly. We spoke with residents about what they liked about their city and what they would like to see at City Centre West.

Top priorities included high quality public spaces, new places to eat and drink, and affordable homes.

As part of the regeneration, there is also an opportunity to enhance the existing Market Square, which is one of the largest public spaces in the city. We asked the community what they might like to see – with trees and plants, outdoor seating, and cafes or restaurants identified as top priorities.

The engagement sessions were held in Wolverhampton’s Urban Room – a newly opened space funded by the local authority and the West Midlands Combined Authority.

Located on Queen Square, right in the heart of Wolverhampton, the Urban Room is designed as a bespoke engagement and consultation space. With over 100 people visiting in person over two days, and nearly 1,000 views of the consultation website.

With the deadline for feedback passing this week, our team is now carefully reviewing the feedback and identifying how City Centre West might be able to respond before finalising a detailed plan.

Further community conversations events will be held over the coming months, where residents will be able to see how we have responded to the feedback provided.

In the meantime, you can find out more at www.citycentrewest.co.uk

Perhaps the three best-known are Banks’s in Wolverhampton (Bank’s Bitter is a standard tipple), Holdens in Woodsetten, near Dudley (try Holden’s Golden), and, established in 1877 and producing just a bitter, mild and Christmas ale, Bathams in Brierley Hill, one of the few breweries that still use 54-gallon hogshead casks, its home pub being The Vine (sometimes called the Bull & Bladder) on Delph Road while over on Dudley High Street, The Lamp is another celebrated local flagship.

The most famous among Black Country drinkers is Old Ma Pardoe’s, brewing its own beer at the Grade 2-listed pub with its rare vitreous enamel tiled roof. The Old Swan, on Halesowen Road in Netherton, was originally owned and run by Doris Pardoe from 1931 to her death in 1984, an even after several changes of ownership, is constantly given fulsome praise by CAMRA. Sedgeley’s Sarah Hughes, a Victorian brewery at the rear of the Beacon Hotel, is also much praised, specialising in an original recipe for an authentic strong early 20th-century Black Country mild.

There’s also several pubs around the region served by micro-brewery Black Country Ales in Lower Gornal while hopefully the Black Country Beer Festival will return to Lye Cricket Club in 2020. You should also not miss experiencing The Crooked House in Himley since subsidence gives the illusion of glasses sliding across the table.

Live music here is reasonably well served, although the Wolverhampton Civic Hall and its smaller sister Wulfrun Hall are closed until 2020 for extensive refurbishment. They do, however, have a 550 capacity cousin, The Slade Rooms (named for local heroes Slade) in Broad Street which is currently doing the heavy lifting for ‘name’ gigs as well as comedy club nights.

The Robin 2 at Mount Pleasant in Bilston describes itself, not without good reason, as the Midlands premier 700 capacity live concert venue and was recently voted the country’s best Prog venue by readers of Classic Rock, beating both the Royal Albert Hall and the Borderline. Operating seven-days-a-week it tends to specialise in heavy rock and blues, but also welcomes folk, punk, country and pop-oriented acts as well as rock heritage names from America such as Blue Oyster Cult, while, situated in Stourbridge, Claptrap has a mix of alternative and indie acts.

Perhaps the three best-known are Banks’s in Wolverhampton, Holdens in Woodsetten, near Dudley, and, established in 1877 and Bathams in Brierley Hill

Folk fans are well served, especially by The Woodman Folk Club in Kingswinford, one of the longest established clubs on the folk scene it regularly hosts well-known names. Elsewhere singers nightscan be found at the Royal Oak in Tettenhall, or the New Crystal Folk Club and Lighthouse Folk Club, both in Rowley Regis. Sited on Enville Street, Stourbridge is also home to Katie Fitzgerald’s, a stop-off point on the folk circuit run by local musician Eddy Morton.

Over in Smethwick, the intimate and welcoming Thimblemill Library is establishing itself a strong reputation for Americana and folk-oriented gigs, frequently featuring appearances by acclaimed names from America’s roots and bluegrass scene.

Tribute acts tend to dominate most of the other venues, including Walsall Football Club, often alongside club and party nights, among them The River Rooms on Mill Race Lane in Stourbridge and The Venue restaurant and disco on Dudley High Street and The Arena at Rookery Lane in Aldridge.

There’s nowhere near the extensive gay scene as there is in Birmingham, but Bar Diva is a cabaret venue in King Street, Dudley while Wolverhampton’s School Street is home to Gorgeous and The Lion Bar and Club on Birchall Street is Walsall’s premier gay venue. There’s also no cutting-edge club nights as you might find in Birmingham, but if all you want is to let your hair down and wave the arms about, then party and disco nights can be found in abundance at the likes of Churchills on Walsall Street and MJs Bar and Venue on Bridge Street in Wednesbury, or Suede on Bridge Street in Walsall, which hosts Suave Saturdays

On the same street, Religion is split into two separate venues with four spaces the nightclub, including a bare-brick loft room leading out onto the third floor roof garden and bar where events are also staged. There’s also the adjacent party bar Poptastic with its retro arcade machines.

In Essington near Wolverhampton, The Range Bar on Broad Lane has 80s v 90s club classics on Fridays and Saturdays with its resident DJ while in Wolverhampton itself, a 40,000 sq ft event space that was once a mass production car manufacturing plant, Starworks Warehouse on Frederick Street, which rather optimistically calls itself the world’s most magical club night, also holds regular music festivals and contemporary art exhibitions

Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream.

Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle.

The following web page discusses the legacy of colonialism at Trengwainton and historic slavery and includes references to histories that some people may find upsetting.

The Price family owned large sugar plantations on Jamaica. They descended from Francis Price (1635-1689) who was believed to be a junior officer at the island’s conquest of 1655. Francis acquired his first Jamaican plantation in 1663, and subsequently bought further estates. In 1670, after England gained formal possession of Jamaica, he acquired 840 acres which he named Worthy Park.

Worthy Park passed through the hands of various members of the Price family, including John Price of Penzance the Younger (1838-97), Rose Price’s father. John Price was mostly absent from Worthy Park, running his plantations from England through local agents. His son Rose Price was educated at Penzance Grammar School, Harrow and then Oxford University, before embarking on a Grand Tour.

In 1791 the family estates in Jamaica, including Worthy Park, were in trouble owing to unscrupulous local agents. Rose Price travelled to Jamaica to assume direct management, where it is claimed he doubled their value.

Rose Price made detailed records which survive in his great plantation book, covering the years 1792-96, now held by the Library of Congress. In this we learn he expanded sugar-cane cultivation by 25% within three years. In order to achieve this, Price had expanded the number of enslaved people at Worthy Park from 355 to over 500. He also introduced adapted Cornish mining technology for mills and brought Cornishmen to assist in the plantation management.

The enslaved people working at Worthy Park came predominately from Africa. They, and their descendants, were deployed in the harvesting of sugar cane, but also worked in the production of sugar and rum. Others worked as carpenters and blacksmiths, a midwife and nurses, and in the 'great house' worked a 50-year-old cook named 'Penzance'. In his great plantation book, Price records the birth of two children with Lizette, a 13-year-old enslaved child, during the three years he spent at Worthy Park. Once older, he sent them to England to be educated.

Rose Price returned from Jamaica in 1795 and that year married Elizabeth Lambert, niece of Lord Sherborne in Gloucestershire. His income from Jamaican estates was then around £6,000 a year, and he continued to invest in further plantations.

Price remained committed to slavery and became a staunch anti-abolitionist. In 1832, whilst living at Trengwainton, he wrote a defence entitled Pledges on Colonial Slavery, to Candidates for Seats in Parliament, Rightly Considered. This included his response to a pro-abolition article published in the West Briton on 7 December 1832. In his response, Price claimed, by giving various examples, that the treatment of enslaved people on plantations in Jamaica was better than of most labourers in England, and 'milder' than in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. His defence of colonial slavery is followed by printed letters in support of his view.

Rose Price died soon after British Parliament passed the Abolition Act in 1833. His executors later received over £10,000 compensation awarded to owners of formerly enslaved people. Despite this large sum, Price’s finances were not sound: he had encumbered both his Jamaican and Cornish estates with substantial debts, and Trengwainton was sold by its mortgage holders in 1835.

We know that there is still work to do in interpreting and exploring this part of history attached to Trengwainton garden and are working with partners through the Inclusive Global History project. Please contact Claire North (claire.north@nationaltrust.org.uk) for further information.

With the United States ramping up deportations under President Donald Trump, the Jamaican Government is raising concerns about the return of individuals with serious criminal backgrounds. Among the 52 deportees who arrived on Thursday were persons convicted of violent crimes, prompting the National Security Council to assess risks and formulate strategies to manage potential threats. Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith acknowledged that while some returnees have only breached immigration laws, others pose security challenges.

Jamaica Gleaner/31 Jan 2025/Andre Williams/Staff Reporter

COURTNEY WILSON appeared lost as he stepped on home soil for the first time in 33 years on Thursday after he and 51 other Jamaicans landed at the Norman Manley International Airport after being deported from the United States.

In fact, it was his first real sense of freedom in more than a decade after spending the last 13 years in a US prison.

“I got in some trouble,” was all he was ready to admit as he spoke to The Gleaner after emerging among the first of the deportees released after hours of processing.

Thursday’s deportation exercise was part of the routine involuntary removal of Jamaican citizens from the North American country, which happens every last Thursday.

It was, however, the first such chartered flight to Jamaica since President Donald Trump returned to office on January 20 and amid reports that some 5,120 Jamaicans were on a list of close to 1.5 million migrants in the US targeted for removal by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

While awaiting the arrival of his brother to pick him up, Wilson expressed concern for his family left in the US. He noted that he left Jamaica in 1993 and was residing in

Philadelphia in the state of Pennsylvania.

“My kids and grandkids are there. It’s not a good feeling. I just got a great-granddaughter who will be three next month. I have not met her yet,” Wilson told The Gleaner.

Noting that he was penniless, he questioned the money allegedly paid by the American government to the Jamaican Government for the deportation process.

“I hear the Americans give the Jamaican Government money for every deportee, but we don’t see that,” he said. “Ask any deportee and dem tell yuh that. That is the story we hear.”

The Gleaner was unable to corroborate the claim.

Wilson said he counted six women on the flight, which landed about 10 a.m. on Thursday. One of the women told The

Gleaner that she was away for a short time, illegally crossing the Us-mexico border just three months ago.

The air was filled with anticipation as nervous relatives milled about, scanning the faces of all arriving passengers to find their kin.

“It’s been eight years since he went away,” one sibling told The

Gleaner. “I’m just excited and anxious to see him.”

Tears and hugs followed as others were reunited with their loved ones though some were not as fortunate.

A few deportees were handed over to local police for continued investigation into charges they had absconded. One man, whose head was covered, was taken by St James police while another, wanted for murder in Clarendon, was dragged into a nearby holding cell until officers from that parish arrived.

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, in her debut press briefing, stressed that the Trump administration would be ramping up deportations.

“The president has said countless times that he is focused on launching the largest massdeportation operation in American history of illegal criminals, and if you are an individual, a foreign national who illegally enters the United States of America, you are, by definition, a criminal, and, therefore, you are subject to deportation,” she said.

On Wednesday, the Jamaican Government said that the National Security Council was assessing risks associated with the deportation of Jamaicans with serious criminal backgrounds and was formulating strategies to mitigate potential threats.

In a statement yesterday, Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith noted that some individuals set to be deported may have breached immigration laws but have otherwise been law-abiding residents engaged in productive employment.

She said others have been convicted of serious criminal offences, including violent crimes.

Johnson Smith said the Government was concerned about the potential impact of the anticipated increased return of individuals with serious criminal backgrounds and is taking steps to ensure public safety.

She urged Jamaicans in the US who are concerned about their immigration status to seek professional legal advice.

By the end of 1865 the "Governor Eyre Case" had become the subject of widespread national debate. In January 1866, a Royal Commission was sent to investigate the events. Governor Eyre was suspended and recalled to England and eventually dismissed. The national government changed that of Jamaica. The House of Assembly resigned its charter, and Jamaica was made a Crown Colony, governed directly by Britain.[9]

The "Eyre Controversy" turned into a long and increasingly public issue, dividing well-known figures of the day. It may have contributed to the fall of the government.

In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration. 

With the onset of hard economic times in the 1870s, European immigrants and Americans began to compete for the jobs traditionally reserved for the Chinese. With economic competition came dislike and even racial suspicion and hatred. Such feelings were accompanied by anti-Chinese riots and pressure, especially in California, for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants from the United States. The result of this pressure was the Chinese Exclusion Act, passed by Congress in 1882. This Act virtually ended Chinese immigration for nearly a century. 

Immigrants entered the United States through several ports. Those from Europe generally came through East Coast facilities, while those from Asia generally entered through West Coast centers. More than 70 percent of all immigrants, however, entered through New York City, which came to be known as the "Golden Door." Throughout the late 1800s, most immigrants arriving in New York entered at the Castle Garden depot near the tip of Manhattan. In 1892, the federal government opened a new immigration processing center on Ellis Island in New York harbor.

Although immigrants often settled near ports of entry, a large number did find their way inland. Many states, especially those with sparse populations, actively sought to attract immigrants by offering jobs or land for farming. Many immigrants wanted to move to communities established by previous settlers from their homelands.
