Talbot, Chaddesley Corbett

Attractive early-17c black and white timbered building which was extended in the early 1960s when a former cottage on the right was absorbed. Apart from some minor refurbishments, the interior is much as it was in the early 1960s. The left hand door leads to a red and black quarry tiled passage. To the left the pool room has a quarry tiled floor, old half-height panelling and the bar counter, bar back and fixed seating all date from the 1960s. To the right is the smoke room with a glazed partition at the front creating a passage to the lounge. The small panelled bar counter as you enter is old and the main counter with copper top and glass shelves for a bar back attached to a copper panel date from the 1960s. The room is almost in two with panelled walls and wood surround fireplace; fixed seating in the rear section is also from the 60s. The lounge bar on the right was formerly a room not in pub use prior to the 1960s and the former cottage. It has a bar counter, fixed seating and a brick fireplace installed in the early 60s.
