The Halfway-House A Halfway House sign generally indicates that the pub
is halfway between one place and another. Sometimes this is obvious and,
at other times, it isn't easy to figure out which two places it refers
to. This is because some old inns on Britain's ancient highways are
halfway between two towns that have since lost their importance or
significance. This sign can be found between Carters Green and Black
Lake near West Bromwich so I assumed the pub was halfway between West
Bromwich and Wednesbury. However the licensee had her own theory - after
years of serving the customers here she reckons it's halfway between All
Saints and St.Margaret's!! I think she meant that her regulars were all
getting on a bit!
