Dating from the 1930's, this is an excellent view of the Black Eagle. The building is essentially the same in the 21st century. The pub is located at Gib Heath in Factory Road, a lane almost certainly named after Matthew Boulton's three-storey manufactory. This building replaced an earlier beer house that stood on the site. George Ward was the publican in the mid-1850's. He produced homebrewed ales using a well which still exists beneath the snug. Along with a fresh water supply, George Ward had expertise at hand in the form of William Glazer, a maltster who lived next door. By 1859, Phillip Webb had moved into No.9 and was operating a malthouse and kiln. In the same year John Steadman had taken over the licence of the Black Eagle. He was both a silversmith and beer house keeper. At one time, the Black Eagle was acquired by Benjamin Kelsey Ltd; a brewery founded in 1859 and based at Ashted Row in Duddeston.
Special Note: This image was created from a collection of postcard-sized photographs that were once used by a regional manager for Ansell's. Sadly, the postcards had suffered severe degradation from damp and I have worked hard to restore them. However, the maximum size I can offer is 1239x1627. You can make a good A4-sized print or 8"x6" photo from this but this is the maximum size I recommend. The image is rare and is priced to reflect the limitations outlined above.
