Boarded up for several years and covered with fly posters, this historic former public house was in use as a pub by the 1820's, and possibly may even have been in use in the late 18th century. It was often also known as The Barrel. A centre of the 19th century labour movement, it would make a good museum but with so many pubs closing in Kidderminster, it is unlikely to ever re-open as a pub.
