The Inn-on-the-Green Sadly, not only has this sign disappeared but the pub
too. The freeholder decided to accept an offer from a developer and the
site is now a small housing development. This is a pub name one probably
associates with a small rural village. However, this sign was to be
found in the Black Country at Wordsley. The sign shows a quaint rural
idyll which is actually how the town's green would have looked years
ago. However, the pub was only named this in the 1990's when the
licensee decided to change the image of the pub. It was previously
called The Raven. Apparently the name was changed because of the pub's
bad reputation. As recently as 1822 the area was almost totally
undeveloped but today a shopping centre occupies much of the site. At
the turn of the 20th century there was another pub here - The George and
Dragon Inn but that too has vanished.
