The former Horsefair pub, 2 Stourbridge Road
Now residential accommodation, this was until a few years ago The Horsefair, one of the public houses in the Horsefair area. The area is one of several deprived areas in Kidderminster, but this one is now undergoing regeneration. Meanwhile the area has more than its fair share of problems. Which brings to mind something someone once wrote on the internet about Kidderminster pubs, "You need to know your pubs in Kiddy to avoid a black eye and a thick ear. Some are seriously rough. Get it wrong and it could hurt a lot...." That's probably sound advice and one or two of the town centre pubs, and those on the more run down estates, are probably best avoided.

The former Horsefair pub, 2 Stourbridge Road
This area of Kidderminster is known as Horsefair and the pub took its name after this. The area is generally quite run down with a higher than average crime rate. A lot of regeneration is going on and the new housing to the right of the former pub is part of this. The pub is now residential accommodation and at the time the photo was taken the first floor flat was to let.

Weaver's Cottages at Horsefair, Kidderminster
The cottage is a rare survival of a house with a top floor workshop dating from the early 1700s, probably built for weavers, it is unique in Kidderminster.
The horse sculpture is for the Kidderminster Horse Fair which moved here from the town centre in 1690 and continued to be held four times a year for the next 130 years. The Horse Fair was where you could buy and sell work horses, carriage horses, fine ponies and horses for the army.
Where the horse statue now stands there was a pond where the horses could drink.
