It is a long while back, Villan so I don't think any surviving family members will have any recollection of great (times 2 or 3) Grandad talking about the area. I must pay a visit there myself though - Looks amazing. And it's 'Bonkses beer' as so I can ask for a pint of Bonkses moild:-)

I can't recollect the pub names in Sedgely and Bilston we did visit but the one in Sedgely was brilliant - Proper old fasioned beer house with excellent local mild and pork pies. I was going to ask if there were any Stanleys (Grandads surname) about but then realised that the barmans forname was Stanley (Stanloiy) - They would have thought I was taking the piss:-) Funny thing is the barman was Irish.
