'Out of darkness cometh light' was the message from a group of former pupils as they witnessed the demolition of the old school buildings they knew as 'The Towers'.

Around two dozen people – including 16 ex-pupils – gathered outside the former Wards Bridge High School on Lichfield Road in Wednesfield as a giant excavator began pulling down the building in preparation for the construction of more than 200 homes on the site.
The school, which closed its doors in 1989, was used as the Jennie Lee Centre until last year, a hub for community groups offering a variety of classes including keep-fit, martial arts and dance.
