The Bell & Bear Inn (2) - sign, 71 Gorsty Hill Road, Rowley Regis
In the days when only a minority of people could read and write, public houses and inns identified themselves by easily recognised signs illustrating their name. People would be familiar with bears because unfortunately "dancing" bears were a not uncommon sight, and still are in some parts of the world. It would be interesting to know exactly what the original sign of 400 years ago showed, but almost certainly not a teddy bear pulling a bell rope!

The Bell & Bear Inn (1), 71 Gorsty Hill Road, Rowley Regis
Set back some distance from the public road, this public house is believed to be over four hundred years old, dating from around 1600. It still has some church pew type seats and sloping floors.

The Lighthouse (1), 153 Coombs Road, Halesowen
This smart looking public house is perhaps surprisingly a Brains house, being quite a way from their base in Cardiff. It is one of only four Brains pubs in the West Midlands area. The name of the pub is also unusual, being a long way from the sea!

The Lighthouse (2) - sign, 153 Coombs Road, Halesowen
Despite the name and the picture on the sign, don't go looking for the sea around here as you will be very disappointed!

Gosty Hill Tunnel, south-east end, 1987
The Dudley Canal passes through the closed Coombeswood tube works. Above is a footbridge and a travelling crane bridge beyond. The tunnel looks an insignificant rat hole from this end, and indeed for most of its length the cross-section is rather small.

Dudley No 2 Canal, at the southern end of Gosty Hill tunnel
The steps provide access to the towpath, as there is no towpath through the tunnel.
