Lady Wulfruna mural unveiled in Wolverhampton - in pictures

A 20ft street art piece was unveiled on Friday, depicting Lady Wulfruna, on the side of the new Regional Homes office on The Parade off Cannock Road.

Businesswoman and former police officer Bal Heer, who founded the Birmingham-based estate agents, commissioned the artwork for the unveiling of her first office in her home city.

The 38-year-old said: "It's been fantastic, the support has been brilliant, and it's brilliant to have an office in my home city.

"Throughout different events in my life, Wolverhampton always finds a way of bringing me back.

"Lady Wulfruna is an inspiring female, what she did for Wolverhampton in its time of need, and that's what Regional Homes is about, people will be in good hands.

"I'm a strong female, I can see that she was very strong, and I can hope I achieve half of what she did.

"I hope that any woman out there doesn't feel she isn't food enough to do what she wants to.

"We've been going five years now and I hope the support we had in Birmingham will happen here in Wolverhampton to."

The art was created by renowned Midlands street artist Doddz, and was unveiled at an opening ceremony at the new branch.

Walsall-born ITV Central News presenter Bob Warman was among special guests at the grand opening.

The 72-year-old said: "I was asked to come down and support this new branch and I'm delighted to do so, I wish them every success.

"The boss, Bal, is a very impressive lady, full of pride and enthusiasm, and I think she'll do extremely well, she's very driven and successful.

"I like the artwork very much, I like good street art, it's very clever, and much more interesting than just a blank wall, and people will notice it and hopefully respect it.

"It's a very nice piece of work with a good message.

"I love the Black Country, its where my roots are, it's a great part of the world and I love the people here."
