I used to work behind the bar in the 60s, and do the Thursday and Saturday night dances.

A fantastic building to look at and it's so big as well, according to the article they never let out rooms upstairs either so it was never a proper hostelry so what did they do with all those rooms upstairs?.
A mile back along the Bristol Rd towards Longbridge is another grade 2 listed pub, originally called the George V when I lived around there, then became an Asian restaurant, then fell into disrepair, now I see there is currently an application to turn it into apartments

The Black Horse, aka the Dirty Donkey, was a frequent watering hole for me, in my youth.
