Dunno if it counts as a landmark, looks old enough to be, the greyhound pub in bilston high street had a serious fire last night, I had a delivery to make in the high street at 12.45pm today and the white suited forensic people were there, 1 fire engine and police directing traffic

No it wouldn't!
Just needs a bit of an upgrade some tidying up and new carpets.
Oh, and about 5 new staff!
They never ever have enough staff to run it well.

Yep it's in a completely unviable location for a working business. I suppose you'd probably get some novelty footfall for a while, but after that it'd be empty again.
