Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Old Peacock, 68 Blackwell Street One of the dozens of public houses still surviving in Kidderminster, the Old Peacock looks out onto Horsefair but has side frontages to Blackwell Street and Dudley Street. This area generally is currently quite run-down with many boarded up buildings. Though definitely not a tourist area, the pub continues to attract a local following. It has had its moments having been closed down in 2004, following a series of incidents, including a fight involving 30 people. But the pub was allowed to re-open following a change of licensee. The building itself, though badly needing a repaint of the exterior, is quite attractive and dates from the late 18th century. It is notable for its castellated parapet & the frosted glass gas lamps on each side of the main entrance door. Apparently it was at one time used as a post office. Currently the pub is applying to turn part of its yard into a smoking area. It seems this project could involve some exterior redecoration. These steps should help secure the pub's future. |
