One of the two public houses in the village of Hartlebury which are still open, The Talbot is to be found in the village itself, not on the A449. The pub is the oldest in the village and dates from the early 17th century, when it was a farmhouse. When it became an inn, it went under the name of The Dog Inn for many years. Its sign was a white dog and the adjacent old turnpike road became known as Dog Lane. In the early 19th century it was known for a while as the Dealers' Inn. An inventory from 1911 refers to iron spittoons in the taproom, snuff boxes in the smoke room and a collection of 950 clay pipes. Image Update March 2017:- The pub is to be converted into housing.
