My school friends lived in Cookley and i worked at Steel Stampings 1967-1970. Drank at the Rock Tavern !!

Yes i know Westley Court. After school (Sion Hill) we used to go there, well in the grounds and surrounding areas.

I used the Tow Path on the Canal to get to Cookley.

Hi Nots

Were getting a bit close you know, you went to school at Sion Hill, I uesd to live in Wolverhampton Rd & went to school at the Sladen. After school I worked with my late Dad at one of our grocery shops (this one was in Stourbridge Rd) & we had a lot of customers that lived in Sion Hill.

Aint it a small world

All the very best

Just had a contact from another researcher on this topic
Now know Thomas GILES died in 1839 Age 58 buried 13 Oct 1839 KIDDERMINSTER St MARY
Record set    National Burial Index for England & Wales

so it looks like he did move from Chaddesley Corbett where he was a butcher in 1838 ) there was a court case where someone killed one of his sheep in Chaddesley Corbet in 1838 the chap was sentenced to death!) So maybe he was the publican for a short time and Ann nee Wood took over from him

If you download the PDF file from the website it tells you the history of the pub and how it got it's name....?

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=three%20crowns%20and%20sugarloaf&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CGoQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kidcivicsoc.org.uk%2FDownloads%2Fthreecrownsandsugarloaf_hkp098.pdf&ei=hr00UMLPNMP80QXymYHgBQ&usg=AFQjCNEV5u3nNIZdlO7PfPzco0SswLTu8A

This link no longer seems to work.  Don't suppose anyone downloaded it when it did? and would be willing to share it.  My ancestor is listed as the publican in 1841. Thanks

Annoying I have had to remove it from my web site too the only one I can find to replace it is a photo of the pub http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/worcestershire/kidderminster_threecrownssugarloaf.html
