Bilston

[Pete Tranter's Sister]

I've travelled to Bilston in the Black Country, Noddy Holder's stomping ground, to see the mighty Flock of Seagulls live at the Bird2 tonight.  Yes, I'm that old.

 

Poorest high street I have ever seen, lovely people and all that, everyone smiling, but so poor that even the Home Bargains shop has closed.  I was the only one wearing leather shoes and with buttons on my shirt.  The poshest building by far is the Job Centre, no kidding.  However, there are 4 bookies on the high street and 2 arcades.  Roll on some closing with the FOBT changes, not nice to see.  Popped in to Laddies, won £100 on a cominbation of Eye of Horus and Rainbow Riches Freespins and left.  I felt like the richest man there.

 

I'm punting for Mr Stop to visit Bilston as his next mystery city.  Just a thought......

I know the place well, but I haven't been for about 8 years. To be honest, it's not really on my list of places to visit 🙂
