Saturday session at Central Library
Local historian Kevin Harris will lead the presentation, which focuses on the early story of Wolverhampton Wanderers and the people and places around it.
According to the City of Wolverhampton Council, the illustrated talk will look at the Molineux Family and the club’s foundation in 1877. The timing gives the subject extra local interest, with Wolves approaching their 150th anniversary.
For residents who know the club mainly through matchdays, the session offers a route into the older civic story around Molineux, Wolverhampton and the roots of one of the city’s most recognisable institutions.
What Kevin Harris will cover
The council notice describes the event as an illustrated presentation, with the spotlight on three connected strands: Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Molineux Family, and the club’s foundation in 1877.
That makes the event likely to appeal to football supporters, local history readers, families with an interest in the city, and anyone who wants a clearer sense of how Wolves’ early story sits within Wolverhampton’s wider heritage.
The presentation is part of a wider programme of heritage-themed events being prepared at Central Library over the coming months.
More heritage events are listed for later in the year
Kevin Harris is also due to lead a taster session for his regular Blue Plaque Walk from the library on Thursday 2 July. That taster event is already fully booked, according to the council.
The notice says Harris runs regular walks in return for a donation of £10 per person towards projects including new gravestones or repairs of graves connected with Wolves’ founders and players. People interested in future walks can email kevinandiris28@gmail.com for further details.
Central Library is also preparing Heritage Open Day tours on Thursday 17 September, giving visitors the chance to see behind the scenes of the Grade II* listed Carnegie Library. Places for those tours will be available nearer the time.
A history walk with Quintin Watt is also listed for Remembrance Day, Wednesday 11 November. Wolverhampton’s Great War Railwaymen – A War-Walk will focus on railway workers and their contribution to the war effort, including the stories of 16 Wolverhampton men who lived, worked or are commemorated locally.
Readers following local heritage dates may also want to note another free public event in the city: Wolverhampton’s Windrush monument unveiling.
