The Lord Nelson, Wednesbury

Very traditional side-street local in an active industrial area, but possibly also serving some housing estates a short distance to the north? Anyway, at least it was still open at 9 o'clock on a Wednesday evening, even if the side lounge was in darkness. The bar area still had a few customers, and some greatest hits from the past were playing on a large TV screen and on a reasonable sound system. No sign of real ale of course, and not even any John Smith's or Worthington's, so finished my walk with a Madri (£3.70).

I called in for a one last night. I noticed it was called the Lord Nelson c/w New sign outside.

A white rendered cottage style detached pub, with central entrance, in what seems an industrial area. The pub had two rooms, and was in white and wood panel. One room had a dart board. Sadly, we walked in and everyone stopped - strangers in town, i guess. The service was functional, the music loudish. The beer was all tap, but there was nothing forthcoming from either the Banks's MILD, or bitter one, so, with the choice of Worthingto*, Carlin*, Guinness or Strongbow, we turned and fled. Not the greatest visit to a pub and i cant really say anything other than i wouldn't go back.
