A local pub for people can be somewhere right down the road from them, a short walk from home to the first pint.

For other people, it can somewhere a little further away, but which feels familiar and welcoming and where you're always guaranteed to get a warm welcome.

The Posada is one of those pubs, a place that many people have found to be their local pub, a place where they can meet friends, enjoy a cold beer and take in the unique and traditional setting of an historic pub.

The pub on Lichfield Street in Wolverhampton is a Victorian Grade II listed pub which dated back to 1886 and is the second oldest pub in the city.

It's not hard to miss, with amber ceramic tiling on ground level, a circular metal window frame and the eye-catching sign for the pub, which translates in Spanish as "Inn" or "Lodging".

Inside, the pub is like taking a trip back in time, full of ceramic tiling and original bar fittings, which include rare snob screens, and which goes back a long way to reveal several seating areas and a few more intimate snugs.
