The Lunt

The Lunt is a residential area of Bilston within the city of Wolverhampton and is part of the West Midlands conurbation in England.

It was mostly laid out by the local council during the 1920s and 1930s, with houses being built to rehouse people from town centre slums.

These houses featured electricity, running water, bathrooms and some with indoor toilets, things that were previously unknown to virtually all of their inhabitants.

[1] In the 1990s, a street of houses on the east of the estate were demolished and replaced by a larger mix of private and rented homes.

Bilston Town FC play at their stadium in Queen Street, the home of the club since 1919, which has also been shared with other non-league sides over the course of its history.
