![The Rose & Crown (3) - Highgate Brewery lamp, 55 Old Birchills, Walsall. There are two of these old lamps, one on either side of the entrance door. The monogram is that of the Highgate Brewery, who were probably the original owners of this business. It is now a Black Country Ales house. The Highgate Brewery was established in Walsall about 1898. Since then it has changed hands several times and faced closure at least twice, but it is still in business but on a much reduced scale. Update (February 2025):- Unfortunately both brewery and pub are closed. Black Country Ales had sold the pub before its subsequent closure.[[2802448]].[[2802468]]. by P L Chadwick – 28 December 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/80/24/2802499_512313a0_120x120.jpg)
![The Rose & Crown (1), 55 Old Birchills, Walsall. A friendly pub which is now a Black Country Ales house, which means there are lots of different real ales on offer. The interior is a gem, preserving period decor which is increasingly difficult to find. Whether you call it late (very late) Victorian or early Edwardian, depends on your point of view. According to the date on the front of the building, it dates from 1901 and Queen Victoria died in January of that year. It was originally the Rose & Crown Hotel, although today the word Hotel has been dropped from the name, as it no longer functions as one. The building is Grade II listed.[[2802468]].[[2802499]].Update (January 2020):- The good news is that the pub remains in business but it has not been operated by Black Country Ales for a while. Update (February 2025) - this pub closed a few years ago and is believed to be up for sale. by P L Chadwick – 28 December 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/80/24/2802448_f3fc6ee8_120x120.jpg)
