| In 1871, if not earlier, it became an hotel and the extensive grounds at the rear were not simply availab
le as a park but were used for anything which might entertain and turn a profit. Even the Exhibition of Staffordshire Arts and Industry, 1869 was held in its grounds. It became particularly well known for sporting events, especially bicycle races, which were attended by vast numbers of people. Several of the competitors made their own bikes, then started making them for others. Arguably this was the start of the Wolverhampton cycle industry and, from that, the car and motorbike industry. When Wolverhampton Wanderers started to get aspirations they created their ground behind the hotel; the ground is, of course, still known as the Molineux. runnymede hotel bay!!!  |
