A typical modern estate pub, The Coopers Arms serves the Habberley Estate on the edge of Kidderminster. Its claim to fame is that apparently here in July 1965 there was a crucial meeting of a group of people who were to go on and buy the railway line from British Railways that is today the highly successful Severn Valley Railway. Update July 2019: sadly this pub closed some time ago, the intention being to demolish and replace with housing. Image Image
