Bilston, Market town in West Midlands, England

Bilston extends across four administrative wards of Wolverhampton City Council, featuring commercial districts and residential neighborhoods connected by local transportation networks.

The settlement, first documented in 985 AD as Bilsatena, evolved from a rural area into an industrial center during the 19th century with coal mines and factories.

St Leonard's Church, established in 1090 and rebuilt in 1826, stands as a central religious structure with architectural elements from different construction periods.

The West Midlands Metro tram network and multiple bus routes connect Bilston to neighboring areas, providing regular public transportation services throughout the day.

Steel Columns sculptures by Robert Koenig commemorate the industrial heritage through art pieces based on Victorian-era photographs of local steelworkers.
