Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the pub at the top of Three Crowns Hill which replaced a much older one which was on the opposite side of the road. I would like to add that the pub has now closed and is awaiting conversion (or demolition) to flats.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Looking towards Sutton Coldfield, this nicely landscaped area opposite the now derelict Three Crowns public house is the former site of a pub which predated and was replaced by the Three Crowns. The condition of the grass is evidence of the very dry summer in 2011.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The former Three Crowns public house is on the outskirts of Walsall on the B4151 to Sutton Coldfield. [[[2731401]]]

Dist:0.7km<br/>A sign of the times, the Three Crowns pub closed and gone forever.

Dist:0.7km<br/>It is by the B4151 Sutton Road, and I have read that it replaced another pub which was on the opposite side of the road where a pleasant green area now is. Another fine early twentieth century road house stands boarded up since 2008 and awaits its fate. These huge old pubs are probably too big for their own good in today's business and social climate. The large plot of land (4.2 hectares) will certainly catch the eye of developers for housing. http://www.midlandsheritage.co.uk/leisure/3288-three-crowns-walsall.html It has been reported that, "to make matters even worse and to add insult to injury, when they sold the property they placed a covenant on it to ban anyone else from selling alcohol on the site which means it can’t be re-opened as a pub or restaurant." http://walsall.ukip.org/articles/1121-green-belt-under-threat-again Planning committee details on p103 here: www.walsall.gov.uk/planning_committee_plans_list_02-12-10.pdf

Dist:0.7km<br/>Not a very good sign, the state of things at the poor old Three Crowns pub.
