Another of Worcester's declining number of back street public houses. It is located on the corner of White Ladies Walk and Lansdowne Street. When photographed in October 2012 it was open, but sadly it closed sometime around the middle of 2013. In February 2014 a planning application to turn it into two houses and a groundfloor flat had been submitted to the planning authority. This pub, as can be seen, was at one time a Hansons house. Julia Hanson & Sons Limited had its origins in a wine & spirit business which later went into brewing in Dudley. In 1943 the firm was taken over by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries Ltd but in the early 1990's the brewery closed and production was moved to Wolverhampton. There are not many pubs which still have Hansons signage and it looks as if there is now going to be one fewer. Image Image The closed pub photographed in August 2017:- Image
