The Walsall Arms is the white building on the left, set back from the road, and Godiva Street can be seen on the right. In 1851 this street was still called Mill Lane (formerly Earl's Mill Lane), but by 1869 it had been renamed Cox Street.
Previously a beerhouse, Mary Ann Russell was granted a full victualler's license for the Walsall Arms on the 24th August 1847. The pub closed in c1951 and the license transferred to the WHITLEY ABBEY HOTEL.
