The Wellywoman was an iconic character among the people of Wolverhampton. She made her first appearance in the 1980s when she began to frequent the centre of Wolverhampton and its many pubs, wearing a decrepit raincoat and pair of wellies whatever the weather, even if it was a scorching hot heatwave or a big freeze in the winter. She was in the city almost every day for easily 30 years until about 2014 when her health began to decline and she eventually died in 2015. The biggest loss to the city since the death of Fred the Tramp a few years before.
