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!
