    Bit of an up-date about "The Stockland" The Chinese Restaurant (Modern China) that it became closed down a while ago, the building was left alone...until last week when planning permission went up on the doors, seeking permission for a few alterations to able it to be used again as a pub :-)

    The Crooked House at Himley

    There isn't a pool table anymore,well I didn't see one. The room where the kids were rolling marbles is on the right as you go in,you have to push the door up to open it......large room at the rear where we ate. Food was lovely,expensive but well worth it.
