BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Wolverhampton is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. Historically part of Staffordshire, the city is named after Wulfrun, who founded the town in 985, from the Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn ("Wulfrūn's high or principal enclosure or farm"). In 1869 the Council decided to build Wolverhampton's new town hall. The Town Hall building (now home to the Magistrate Service) is situated in North Street directly opposite the Civic Centre. The building was designed by Manchester architect Mr Bates and built by Phillip Horsman of Wolverhampton (who also built Wolverhampton Art Gallery). Official opening The building was officially opened on 19th October 1871.The Town Hall's functions remained the same until 1978 when the Council headquarters were transferred to the new Civic Centre. The building then became used as the Law Courts, before the Crown Court functions were moved to a new site in Pipers Row.
