From a contributor who asked to remain anonymous, I have this wee snippet from The Walsall Observer, which is described as ‘…from 1900’. It seems managerial changes at the local pubs were as newsworthy eleven decades ago as they are now.
Speculating about the wonderful research by Roger Jones to my last post about this old Inn and it’s associated brewery, I’ve been wondering why there don’t seem to be any pictures of the brewhouse in question. With a large chimney and producing ales for a number of houses, it must have been quite a concern. I wonder why there’s not more to be found in the historical record.
Thanks for the contribution, please do comment or mail me if you can add any more to this jigsaw.
From 'The Walsall Observer' some time in 1900.
