Dist:0.3km<br/>The Eagles Nest was part of the Pubmaster chain and closed in 2008. The pub sign currently is still in place, on top of a pole, by the side of the large car park adjacent to Coningsby Drive. Planning permission has been given for demolition of the pub and for residential redevelopment. See also [[1063243]] [[1063266]] and for a view when the pub was open [[499025]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>A dull Winter's day enhances the depressing impression given by this former public house, which closed in 2008. Despite the sign "Under New Management", this is unlikely to re-open, as the Council gave permission for its demolition and replacement by housing. It was the only public house actually in the Ferndale area of the town and despite a petition against closure signed by over 200 people, the Council made their decision. Now that the housing market is in serious collapse, it is difficult to imagine developers falling over themselves to build on here in the near future. Local residents are likely therefore to have this boarded-up eye-sore on their doorsteps for a long time to come. See also [[1063243]] and [[499025]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Eagles Nest was a typical post-World War II estate pub, situated in the middle of the Ferndale area, on the edge of Kidderminster. The sign "Freehold Development Opportunity" says it all. The Council have given permission for the demolition of the pub and replacement by housing. The large car park to the right of the pub gives plenty of space for the redevelopment. When the pub was open, it looked like this: [[499025]]

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Briars Hotel closed in 2008. The main building is Victorian and it seems it was a pub for at least 50 years, later adding accommodation facilities and a restaurant. The flat roofed annexe on the left included the Tub-tim-siam Restaurant & Take Away. That has also closed. There is some hope that the Briars Hotel may re-open as a public house.
