One of Kidderminster's older public houses, The Red Man is in Blackwell Street on the edge of the town centre. This street has been split into two parts by Kidderminster's "ring road". This pub is in the more salubrious half of the street. At one time this pub was known as "The Fortunes of War". Update: This public house was acquired by the Birmingham brewery Davenports and is due to re-open on the 15th December 2022. It has also been renamed The Post House, as Sir Rowland Hill, who reformed the postal service and introduced the first postage stamps in 1840, was a resident of Blackwell Street.
