Another One on the Way Out

[Dionysius//88]

Not exactly in the paramteters of Birmingham but I noticed today that The Old Swan in Netherton may be closing as the gaffer has passed his reitirement date after managing the pub for 26yrs . It's not a pub I have used but it's nickname precedes it Ma Pardoes another nail in the box

'To let' sign appears outside legendary Black Country pub as landlord aims to retire after 26 years

The future of an iconic Black Country pub has been left uncertain after a 'to let' sign went up outside.

It's difficult to imagine that an enterprising business or person won't step into the breach there.

So much history and a "must visit" for real ale buffs. Mrs Pardoe will be spinning in her grave.

The Old Swan (Ma Pardoes) is beautiful inside and out. The 'To Let' sign has been there for a while. It is a famous Black Country pub and still brews its own Beer. Take a trip out Brummies and boost the takings. I hope this one will keep going it has a strong following. https://camra.org.uk/pubs/old-swan-netherton-146492
