		Bilston was first mentioned in the Domesday book as a village called Billestune, but it was a largely rural area until the nineteenth century.
		Bilston Urban District Council was formed in 1894 and between 1920 and 1966 replaced most of the nineteenth century terraced houses with rented modern houses and flats on developments like Stowlawn, The Lunt and Bunker's Hill.
		It became so severe that by the late 1960's, the government had drawn up plans for a new dual carrigeway bypassing Bilston (and running from the A4123 near Coseley to Junction 10 of the M6 at Walsall) which was scheduled to be completed by 1976.

	Bilston
		Bilston is located 2½ miles south-east of Wolverhampton.
		The name "Bilston" is derived from the name of a tribe of Angles - "The Bilsaeton" or "Bilsonii", who came up the Trent Valley and settled here in the 6th Century.
		Bilston is also known internationally for its delicately decorated products, such as enamelware, which flourished between between 1730 and 1830, and japanware (goods made either of papiermaché or tinplate and varnished to give a high-gloss finish.) Japanning was a dead art by 1900, though it has recently been revived by Bilston Enamels.

		The Bilston Development Project, for example, launched in July 2005 and is a £1.6 million regeneration scheme to enhance, promote and improve the image of Bilston.
		This is something that could be seen quite clearly in the run-down, once proud historic buildings within the town, and even more so in the fact that the town hall, which in many places would be the heart and soul of the community, was in such a bad condition.
		I was born in Bilston, now living in Australia, my father Walter Fellows was onetime Mayor of Bilston, it is great to see the Town Hall coming back to life, I had seen an ad.

		Bilston, who spent time on bed rest herself, creates an authentic voice for Q, but her protagonist's housebound existence makes for a sluggish plot.
		Bilston endured that stationary treatment herself, and at times she succeeds in making the humdrum hilarious, à la Bridget Jones's Diary, but she's too ambitious: The only thing more unendurable than lying in bed for three months is reading about lying in bed for three months.
		Bed Rest is brightened by Bilston's witty repartee and enticing tangents about a paralegal's sordid affair and Q's bid to save her impoverished neighbors' rent-controlled building.
