This appears to be the current address
STATION DRIVE FOUR ASHES WOLVERHAMPTON WV10 but I think I saw somewhere that this inn was previously called something else - so perhaps the original went & the name was reused. Try an internet search - there are lots of hits

hi Jacqui.
Have just read your request and wondered if this is the Four Ashes Pub that you are looking for.
It is at Four Ashes near to Coven on the Wolverhampton to Stafford road.. the A449.
The Pub is called The Four Ashes...it sits right on the main raod.
I am intersted loosely in that pub as my Great Grandfather Edwin Beesley was the Publican there. or at least so I think. Is this any help??
Regards
Mrs Noah.

I don't think that this will be of much interest to you guys but the 1871 entry for Four Ashes Inn, 36 Stafford Street has a family headed by William and Frances Matthew and sister in law Martha Oaks.
I'll post the whole think if any one wants it RG10-2937/31
I tried looking for the other streets mentioned at the start of that census section (Charles Street, Carp Street, Chicken Lane) and could not find them so I wonder if it has been redeveloped? Still, if you can get a map ypu should be able to find no 36. The White Hart was at 41 if that helps and Brittanica at 51.

The Four Ashes Inn, 36 Stafford Street is the first household in Enumeration District 9 and here is what the notes say at the beginning of that enumeration district:
"Part of the township of Wolverhampton namely Stafford Street west side from Charles Street to Red Lane, Cannock Road both sides to the boundaries of the township; that is on the North side to the stream, and on the South side from, but not including the "Junction Inn" to the Grand Junction Railway; also Chicken Lane and Carp Street All courts, Alleys and entries included, except entry from Stafford Street to Middle Row (called B??ked Lane"
So I think that Charles Street was a side street off Stafford Street and the Four Ashes stood on the corner. The household at 51 Stafford Street (Brittania Inn) is the last on Stafford Street, next comes Lower Stafford Street.
If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
and search for co-ordinate 391456,299411
That will get you a map centred on the "dogleg" where Stafford Street and Lower Stafford Street meet. Your pub must have been somewhere south of the dogleg, on the west side of the street, about 8 buildings down. Hope this is a help.
