This is an other drinking establishment and you may be charged for entrance at certain times.

Within the Black Country Living Museum for which admission is payable.

This pub is a recreation of the Elephant & Castle that stood to the north of Wolverhampton on the Cannock Road. The fireplace in the smoking room is from a house in Lower Gornal and the Minton tiles in the Cannock Road entrance were collected from a house in Stourbridge. The upstairs bar is from the Gypsy’s Tent in Dudley. Much of the furniture has been donated by Marston’s.

Open only during museum opening times to its visitors and finishes serving a quarter of an hour before the museum closes.

It serves two regular beers from Holden's and a changing beer, often from Green Duck. In keeping with the early 1960s setting there are no pump clips on the handpulls, but the beers are listed on a chalk slate. Cobs are available.

Opening times vary with the seasons and main holidays.

Contact details are as for the Museum.

Historic Interest

The Elephant & Castle was originally built in 1905 on the corner of Stafford Street and Cannock Road, Wolverhampton. In 1910, it was sold to Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries, and became part of Banks’s pub estate. It was sold off in the 1990s, closed in 2000, and was knocked down in 2001. The new recreation of the former pub, opened in September 2022 within the museum, is recreated from photos, plans and memories. The only piece from the original building is the elephant with a castle on its back 'statue' which is now located high into the external frontage of the new pub.
