This is located at The Black Country Museum near Tipton- we visited it during a trip on our canal boat back in September ‘85.
The inn is one of the very few buildings that has ALWAYS been there, as opposed to having been shifted to the museum site brick by brick- I think it was built c.1816, and was once a favourite with the local foundry-workers and nail-makers. Bargees from the canal used to drop in there too, on their way up North with clay cargoes for the Potteries. It remains fully licensed and serves some terrific local real ale.
In the Summer, they sometimes do folk gigs outside it during the long, warm evenings!
