Glossy images of Wolverhampton landmarks added to signs on city's streets

And now they feature on the roadside signs which welcome visitors into the city.

The signs themselves were installed in April and include the city’s crest on a royal blue background and feature the words ‘City of Wolverhampton Welcomes You.’

But it is only now the images have been added in a bid to boost interest in the city's top venues and famous features.

The iconic Grand Theatre is shown at the base of the sign on the A41 Wergs Road, Tettenhall, with the caption: "Proud home to big shows at the Grand Theatre."

Molineux, home of the city's historic football club, features on the sign along Bridgnorth Road while Wolverhampton's engineering prowess is showcased on the sign by UTC Aerospace in Stafford Road.

To the south of the city, drivers coming in from Wombourne, Kingswinford, Stourbridge, Kidderminster and Worcester are greeted by a picture of Banks's finest ales, which have been brewed in Wolverhampton since 1875, as they come in via the Penn Road.

A short distance away in Warstones Road, a sign features a striking picture of a live performance at the city's Civic Hall, which attracts some of the country's biggest artists, comedians and sporting events.

The image, featuring strobe lighting coming from the stage, is accompanied by the words "Proud home of live music and comedy" and signposts people to the venue's official Twitter profile.

A £14.4 million refurbishment of the Grade II listed venue is on-going and is due to be completed in at some point after October 2018 following multiple delays in the work.

Tory councillor Udey Singh, who represents the Tettenhall Regis ward, said: "Some of the signs are not highly visible, but anything to raise the profile of this city the Conservatives always welcome.

"Me personally I am always looking for businesses to invest here. I am conscious Brexit talks are underway and we want to attract as much investment into the city and make this city vibrant once more."
