Wolverhampton's working history runs from Lady Wulfrun's wool grant to Ernest Bevin's forty-hour handshake — from the wool merchants whose money built St Peter's nave clerestory, to Edward Bird the japanning apprentice who became a Royal Academician, to Harry Inscoe who sat at his locksmith's bench for sixty years, to the young architects Lawrence Israel and Edward Lyons who won the Civic Hall competition aged twenty-two and twenty-five in what was their very first job, to John Baynton and John Brodie who were given a football by their headmaster and founded Wolverhampton Wanderers. These are the names the plaques missed.
