Unusually the inn has two signs, which appear to be identical, and both are rather faded. At the top it says "Anchor Inn Restaurant & Bar Foods". Ansells Ales used to be one of the glories of the west midlands, but the brewery at Aston, Birmingham, closed in 1981. They are still brewed by Carlsberg-Tetley, but not locally, and these days the Tetley branded beers seem to be the ones that get promoted. Image
