About Bilston

Known for

The Bilston enamels (extraordinary 18th century painted enamel boxes), the steel industry heritage, the market, and a Black Country town with a remarkable artistic legacy

A little history

Bilston was famous throughout Europe in the 18th century for its exquisite painted enamel boxes and decorative objects. The steel industry dominated the 19th and 20th centuries. The town was absorbed into Wolverhampton but maintains a fierce Black Country identity.

Local tip

The enamels are in Wolverhampton Art Gallery — genuinely extraordinary 18th century miniature paintings. The market for Black Country shopping. The town's independent spirit is strong.
