Do You Know Wolverhampton?

The Express & Star was founded in Wolverhampton in the 1880s by the Scottish-American millionaire Andrew Carnegie and a group of radical Liberal Party members, including Thomas Graham.

The Express & Star is an evening newspaper based in Wolverhampton, England, publishing 11 different editions covering the Black Country, Birmingham and areas of the wider West Midlands from Tamworth to Kidderminster.

The newspaper had a daily (Mon-Sat) circulation of over 130,000 in the second half of 2007.[1]

The Express & Star is also one of the few independent newspapers now operating in the UK having been under the continuous ownership of the Graham family almost since its inception.

Its associated website expressandstar.com was launched in 1997.

Two other papers are published by the Express & Star, The Chronicle, which is a free weekly newspaper and The Sporting Star, published every Saturday.
