Iconic buildings of Bilston in decline

[@Wolves_Wanderer]

Kill the background music, and talk about what we're actually looking at. Bilston is my home town left many years ago never to return. The Greyhound pub had some good memories drinking in there mid eighties. The other place used to be a night club amount other things but just can't remember what it was called. Thanks for the upload.

Spent 18 very happy months in the 60's when my parents ran the Pipe, it is a bloody big disgrace that these buildings have been allowed to reach this level of disrepair be it council or private owners.

Bilston Art College....brings back memories of the late 60's going there on a day release...to do typing with the girls rather than metalwork with the lads!,,Ended up being the more practical choice in the end! Shame the building has been left to rack and ruin!

Any news about the guy who got charged with arson on the greyhound pub ?

[@cliveparkes4052]

Is this similar to the crooked house scenario ??

Why are these beautiful buildings left to rot....needs investment wish I had the means 😢

Absolutely disgusting that bilston council have let so many wonderful buildings fall into decay I was born in prosser street 65 years ago but I have lived locally for many years here's a few thoughts is the greyhound pub being rebuilt or is the owner trying to get permission to knock it down and redevelope just like what happened to the crooked house at himley ???? Why is the school building being let to fall down and the building next door I think it's a cegb or electrical building they are an eyesore why has the council not steeped in even if they are privately owned the council can force the owners to repair or they can compulsory purchase I'd love to here locals opinions

Bilston council? 🤔

The college's barely existing roof will lead to one sole option. Oh, how sad, never mind!
