We recently stayed overnight at the Premier Inn in Wolverhampton and discovered that it was built on the site of the railway platforms of the original Great Western Wolverhampton Low Level station. The High Level station is still in use and overshadows the hotel from an imposing viaduct built of Staffordshire blue bricks.
The Low Level station building is now grade II listed and serves as a function venue.
The Premier Inn hotel incorporates part of the arcading of the original station.
