Musto’s Hotel Dale End

[Simon68]

Does anyone have any info on Musto’s Hotel or Musto’s Inn in Dale End, as I have come across a 2d pub token for the location.

Token was made by known medalist, engraver, stamper etc, Thomas Pope of Birmingham, as indicated on the reverse design.

As with all my tokens, it is for sale.

Regards Simon “The TokenMan” from Suffolk

1951 map shows it as 116 the same as in the directory but no longer a hotel.
