Here is a wee bit of history for you. An extract from a news paper in 1867. Below is the reason i am interested in this particular pub.
"FATAL ACCIDENT AT ROUND OAK:- On Tuesday afternoon, a lad, named James Henry Arthur, a coal loader, was playing, in company with several others, on a siding, near the Earl of Dudley's canal wharf, Round Oak. Whilst running among a number of trucks that were lying there, an engine knocked him down and passed over him, severing the right leg a little below the knee.
