When the building was a branch of the former Midland Bank, the bank's name was at the top of the ground floor. Following acquisition by HSBC Bank it would have been rebranded around 1999. When Black Country Ales opened a public house in the building in 2014, and named it The Midland, they had the old Midland Bank sign repainted. A close look reveals that the letters are not actually fully in alignment with the old. In the bottom left of this picture the two windmills logo of Black Country Ales can be seen. Image Image
