Go-ahead for shop and flats at former troubled pub in Wolverhampton
The site of a former pub in Wolverhampton that was a hotbed of criminal activity for decades – including the fatal shooting of a man in 2001 and regular police raids due to public disorder – is to be turned into a retail store and new apartments.
The location of the former Talisman pub premises in Wildtree Avenue, Underhill, has this week been granted approval for conversion into a local convenience store, along with 14 one and two-bedroomed premises. The application was submitted by SEP Properties Ltd, based in Sutton Coldfield
In 2018 a gang was rumbled running a massive drugs empire from the premises, which led to the arrest and conviction of six people.
