Grand Station in Wolverhampton
Grand Station in Wolverhampton
Grand Station is a wedding and other events venue based in the converted former buildings (grade II listed) of the Great Western Railway at Wolverhampton Low Level Station by Sun Street. Transformation plans began in 2012.

The station was opened in 1854 by the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (merged with the Great Western Railway by 1863), and the buildings completed the following year.
Behind the façade seen here, the Grand Hall is a long reception room with bar and dance floor has been built over the former northbound platform (see the white roof on aerial images). The sound system is very loud, but of good quality! No real ale here; The Great Western is nearby!

The tower block is Victoria Hall, student accommodation dating from 2008-2009.
