Stairlifts Wolverhampton – Stairlifts West Midlands

Here we are in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands so hello Wulfrunians or Yam Yams if you prefer!  These nicknames sometimes seem quite bizarre.  The term Wulfrunians comes from the history of the town; Wolverhampton is named after one Lady Wulfrun who is said to have founded a ‘landed estate’ at the place now known as Wolverhampton.  This was in the year 985; prior to this she had founded a convent at Tamworth.  You’ll still find references around the town to Wulfrun i.e. The Wulfrun Centre or Wulfrun Hall.



Wolverhampton has a nickname of its own and is often called Wolves or even Wolvo.

Castle Comfort Stair Lifts’ Wolverhampton office is happy to help anyone in the area looking for a stairlift for themselves or a loved one.  We know that approximately 1,200 retired people in the area already own one; you can see how we keep up to date with figures via the rolling counter on our homepage.

We know these figures change constantly so if you find yourself in need of mobile assistance up and down the stairs, check our stairlift comparison, see if you like our stairlift prices and give us a call on  01902 489 422  for more information.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolverhampton’s Premier League Football Club is also affectionately known as Wolves.  It is one of the oldest Football Clubs in the UK and one of the 12 founder members of the Football League.

Over the years Wolves have won 2 FA Cups and 2 League cups and have reached the final of the UEFA Cup.  They have had a number of high profile players including Billy Wright, Emlyn Hughes, Wayne Clarke, Robbie Keane and Wayne Hennesy amongst them.  Famous managers include Tommy Docherty, Graham Taylor and Glen Hoddle.



Wolverhampton’s timeline
As a small market town, it was once famous for its wool production; by the Industrial Revolution it had become a major industrial town with coal and limestone mining and iron ore at its core; followed by the production of steel, japanning (Asian lacquer work), locks – Chubb locks still have a presence in the town - motorcycles and cars.  Now its economy is engineering based including the aerospace industry and the service sector.  How times change!

Car production in Wolverhampton has been lead by Sunbeam who had previously built bicycles and then motorcycles.  Along with their Sunbeam cars all carried the trademark brand name Sunbeam.
British composer Edward Elgar was a big Wolverhampton Wanderers fan and often travelled to games on his bicycle – a Royal Sunbeam of course.



They built several cars that beat the land speed record including the first car to break the record at over 200 mph.  The car a Mystery aka Sunbeam 1000hp broke the record at Daytona Beach in 1927 driven by Henry Segrave.  The car is now on show at Beaulieu Motor Museum in Hampshire.

Sunbeam also built several Grand Prix winners too – it was the only British make to win a Grand Prix in the first half of the 20th century.

Sunbeam Talbots were built for the road up until the beginning of the 1980’s.

Another car producer in Wolverhampton was Kieft Cars best known for Formula Three cars in the 1950’s and for Stirling Moss as their driver.
