Special Event: Memorial Stone Unveiling

This year’s ceremony features the unveiling of the newly commissioned Workers’ Memorial Day Stone. After 34 years, the original plaque has become difficult to see and its mounting rotted. Following discussions with the City Council, this new, prominent memorial will be placed in front of the Workers’ Memorial Day Tree.

It will be dedicated to the workers of Wolverhampton and Bilston, who have been killed, disabled, injured or made unwell by their work.
