Looking south towards Merry Hill, the Dudley No 1 Canal is passing through the Waterfront Business Park, adjacent to the Merry Hill Shopping Centre. By the footbridge is the Brewers Wharf public house. The business park was built on the site of the demolished Round Oak Steel works, which closed in 1982. Construction was during 1989 and 1990. Update: CAMRA reports in 2017 that the former Brewers Wharf, a large canalside pub, has recently undergone a profound transformation in both name and nature. Now dubbed the "Brierley Hop House", this is a trendy wet-led establishment with dim lighting and plenty of hideaways to enjoy a drink with friends or to mark a special occasion. There is a full gin and cocktail menu in addition to the keg and cask products. The food menu largely comprises of burgers and other grills. The first floor can be reserved for meetings or private functions. The car park is Pay and Display but tickets can be redeemed* inside the pub." * Don't forget to do it when you enter.
