3 pubs in Codsall

 23/2/24

Having successfully completed a training course nearby I decided to visit here as I was not going home until the following morning.

The station still retains some of its Grade II listed GWR architecture.

I walked into the village, The Bull (a Banks's pub) had no beers of interest to me so I carried on to the Love & Liquor.

 

Salopian - Golden Thread was my beer of choice.

Opposite here was my second pub, the Cown Joules, a Joules brewery pub.

4 new Joules beers here for me to drink.

Then back to the station for my third and final pub apropriately called Codsall Station

 

Utilisin the old station buildings the pub is now owned by Holdens brewery. 4 of their beers were new to me and duly drunk.

I also took some photos outside.

And finally my train arrived.
