Historic Walsall pub is put on the market for £300,000

An historic well-known Walsall town centre pub is to go on the market for £300,000, it emerged today. Admiral Taverns has decided to offload early 1800s pub The Prince in Stafford Street, which is up for sale freehold.

The pub and the car park next to it, which stand at the top of the town centre, are being billed as "excellent value for continued licensed use or owner occupation" but also said to have potential for redevelopment as homes or commercial properties.

Keith Watkins, secretary of Walsall's Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), said he hoped the pub would continue to run as a watering hole after it was sold.

He said: "The pub has been in the Walsall Good Beer Guide in the past, it's a good local pub. It belongs to a good row of buildings, I would hope that it is kept as a pub."
