    The town of Walsall is one of the West Midlands largest conurbations having a population of 269,323 in the wider built up area. It is historically known as the UK centre of saddlery and leather production, although this has waned during the post-war period. It stands north of the Midlands city of Birmingham, east of the city of Wolverhampton and benefits from excellent communication links via two junctions of the M6 motorway.

    The Crown is a long established freehouse for sale after 37 years in the same owners’ hands. It stands in a residential area known as Birchalls on the north-eastern edge of the town and offers good prospects for continued use as a public house or for another purpose, subject to planning, especially in view of the plot size of 0.19 of an acre with the pub having the benefit of a good size car park and rear area.
