The Old Black Bank Inn is on the B4113 at the boundary between Bedworth and Exhall. From the date in the gable the current pub dates from 1899, but the earliest large scale Ordnance Survey mapping currently available on line, dating from 1887, also shows a "Black Bank Inn", so evidently there was some form of beer house here serving the local mining community before the current pub was built. The pub has got a very good, informative, and well laid out website here http://www.theoldblackbank.co.uk/
