Queen's Building, Wolverhampton, Grade II listed building in Wolverhampton, England.
Queen's Building is a Grade II listed structure in Wolverhampton featuring grey brick walls with stone dressings. It includes two central carriage arches and narrow pedestrian passages on each side.
The structure was built in 1849 as a carriage entrance to Wolverhampton railway station, designed by architect Edward Banks. It received Grade II listed status in 1977.
The building displays Victorian railway design and reflects Wolverhampton's transformation during the railway boom of the 1800s. Pedestrians still move through its passages daily, showing how this structure remains woven into the city's everyday life.
The building sits near the present-day railway station and is easy to locate. Following its restoration, it now contains a coffee shop and provides facilities for bus drivers working in the area.
The roof features two low square turrets, with one holding a clock that has tracked time since its installation. This small timepiece is often overlooked but has marked the hours for travelers across more than 170 years.
