Site Feature: Miner's Arms

Inns are plentiful in every mining area in Britain. The larger and more prosperous the mines were, the more frequent and grand were the public houses.

The inn on the left stands at a road junction beside a bridge over the Hope brook in Minsterley. Until the mines of the area closed it was known as the Miner's Arms. Now it is simply called the Bridge Inn. NGR SJ 375 050

The house on the right near Bog lead mine was also called The Miner's Arms and remained a pub long after the mine closed, until the 1960's, when it became a private dwelling. NGR SO 357 977
