WEST MIDLANDS - Dudley, Shakespeare National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One 74 Stafford Street, Dudley, DY1 1RT Tel: 01384 213461 Public Transport: Bus: 558 Listed Status: Grade II Once hundreds, if not thousands, of Black Country pubs must have looked like this simple three-room corner establishment. They are now exceptionally rare, hence the grade II listing in 1999. A corridor with red and black quarry tiles leads to the rear (and outside toilets). On the left, behind a matchboarded partition, is a tiny tap room with a counter and basic shelving by way of a bar-back. Behind this a long room with an irregular plan reflecting the shape of the site. On the right a third plain room. Fixed seating in all rooms. |
