The Bear Tavern in Bearwood
A landmark building in the middle of Bearwood; a sign on the wall suggests that the name doesn't necessarily come from "wood with bears" but more likely the Old English words 'bearu' and 'wudu', meaning Grove Wood; this would have been a place of pig grazing in the Middle Ages. That doesn't preclude the survival of bears in the area at least until Roman times, as the area was densely forested at that time.

The Midland (1), 526-528 Bearwood Road, Bearwood
The building was designed for the former Midland Bank or possibly for one of the banks it absorbed. It later became a branch of the HSBC Bank. By 2012 it had closed and in July 2014 Black Country Ales re-opened it as one of their small chain of real ale pubs. The interior is impressive and the conversion works surprisingly well.
