Edge's Shoe Factory, Wellington Road, Bilston
A landmark building on the road into Bilston from Wolverhampton, it once was home to Edge's Shoes, a major employer in the area. Amongst other bits of terracotta, note the segmental arches and keystones above the windows: this seems to be a characteristic use of terracotta in Bilston.
The cartouche on the pediment above the doorway gives the original name: "Forward Shoe Factory".
