The Scott Arms

B42 - Grid reference SP046942

 

Developed after the end of World War 2, the shopping centre and amenities around junction of the Walsall Road with Newton Road and Queslett Road is popularly known as the Scott Arms after the Scott Arms Hotel which is shown though not named on the 1890 Ordnance Survey map. Records date the pub to at least 1830. The old pub was demolished in the 1966 and rebuilt as part of a shopping centre. The Scott family were first recorded in the area in 1332 and were the owners of Great Barr Hall from 1618 until 1909.
