Listing: Rare survivor of a mid-Victorian
public house of the 1860s. Contains many original internal
features, including subdivisions into a snug, smoke room and bar
survive. Exterior largely in tact with some good etched glass
panels. To the rear is an L-shaped bowling green and a rare
surviving stable block. Locally Listed, approved November 2001.
Comment: A very important example of a local
pub. Bowls (of the crown green variety) has always been a very
strongly supported game in Wolverhampton and a number of pub bowling
greens survive. The one here is sometime felt by visiting teams to
give the home team something of an advantage, they being somewhat more
used to playing round the corner of the pub, on two sides of which the
rink lies.
