Pictures are of pubs near to where I grew up in Wolverhampton. Two days after taking the photographs our local paper, The Express and Star, reported metal theft etcetera from the Black Horse. According to the report, in May 2006 this was the first pub in the city to have its licence revoked. This once magnificent building has fallen into disrepair with local residents and campaigners awaiting the council’s decision regarding its future.
