The building was designed for the former Midland Bank or possibly for one of the banks it absorbed. It later became a branch of the HSBC Bank. By 2012 it had closed and in July 2014 Black Country Ales re-opened it as one of their small chain of real ale pubs. The interior is impressive and the conversion works surprisingly well. Image Image
