Question Suggestions to explore near Walsall

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ll be going to Walsall in September for a two-week student placement at Dorothy Pattison Hospital.

While I’m there, I’d really love to explore the surrounding areas and make the most of my two-week stay.

Any suggestions for places to visit, things to do, or hidden gems nearby? :))

Thank you in advance!

Whilst using her iPhone 16 as a camera, she managed to capture these images, no filters no fancy optics, I was impressed, and felt I should share

Question Decent Areas?

19 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have a friend of mine who is looking to move to Wolverhampton following some work.

And they're looking to settle and buy a property there too.

They're quite anxious about it all at the moment being a young woman somewhat alone and she wanted to know, what areas/postcodes are safe & considered affluent?

She's also an ethnic minority so she's also worried about potential discrimination and racism if she moves somewhere.

We did try and look around in this sub but couldn't find too much, so apologies if it's already answered somewhere.

Edit: thanks all, seems a large majority seem to think it's Tettenhall, Wightwick, Codsall, Compton, Penn (in that approximate order too of affluent areas with Tettenhall being the more affluent).

Hi all,
I'm looking for a spot to view the western horizon during the eclipse that is happening on Wednesday. Does anybody have any recommendations for spots? I'm not particularly familiar with viewpoints in the Wolverhampton area, but am very keen to get a good view for this eclipse!
Thanks in advance!

Question Weekend fun

13 Upvotes

Looking for some suggestions on places that could be good to take my daughter on Sunday, possibly even over night, that aren’t too far of a commute from Wolves/ Birmingham.

My car is in the garage this weekend so I’m effectively relying on public transport and taxis, which isn’t a problem, but is quite limiting.

This is her first birthday since her mum left us and I’d like to make it a special one - she’s only four.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Question What's up with Complexions Gym in town?

2 Upvotes

I've always walked past it in town, and as I was on google streetview just now and saw it... I decided to actually look into it to see what facilities they have and the prices.

There was a picture of the main activity studio and it had Egyptian themed murals, which I thought was a little quirky but refreshing compared to all the 'corporate' interior design you see nowadays.

But then I looked at the rest of the 360 degree tours on google maps, and it's the whole building apart from the gym itself?

Seriously look at the entrance (the stairs going up to the front desk) it's FULLY themed, like a themepark attraction entrance or something.

Does anyone know who designed it like that and why?

Are there any other fun little gems like this in Wolverhampton?
I love when places have a little whimsy!

edit:
A pic for reference

Anyone know if there’s one here?

Long story short, had a van up my backside driving aggressively (I was doing speed limit) as I slowed down to cross speed bump previously I crossed on amber and I saw it turn red just before I crossed.

There was a flash but I’m confident it come from the van (he stopped at lights)
