Quote: ninearches "I have never been to West Bromwich for pleasure,has anyone ? I have delivered there numerous times & it is only 15 to 20 minutes by bus & down the A41 through Handsworth to the city centre. Ah,Handsworth, that is a place to behold.'"
Handsworth!!
I had the 'pleasure' of a public house called the Frighted Horse on my way back from Cardiff on several occasions as it's handy for the M5.
It was a West Indian shebeen full of dominoes and dark rums of various descriptions on the high Street into Birmingham and once the initial suspicions/tensions had eased (we were a minibus load of football fans) it was a great place to spend a few hours and we were welcomed back and indeed had three trips there.
However it's not what I'd call ideal for a weekend
