Dock-and-Iron

Located on Brierley Hill's Delph Road, the The
Dock and Iron already had a lovely sign painted on the side
of the pub. In 2005 they added a fine hanging sign.
Appropriately, these images feature pictures of the industry
and transport that was once the backbone of the surrounding
vicinity. Indeed, a mineshaft was once located in the front
garden of the house next door. In the 19th century there
were many pits in the area, notably on the local Withymoor
Village. The human arm serves as a reminder of the various
workshops that the Delph Road once supported and also,
perhaps, the giant steelworks of Round Oak which once stood
just up the road from the pub. Thankfully, the signs avoid
deification of the shopping malls which now reign in the
region. Incidentally, the pub was formerly called the Duke
William.
