Here is the Three Tuns Tavern Walsall Road Willenhall. My Grandmother lived there in 1901 name of Mellor, she was 20 at the time. My son named it in our files as The Cross Guns so take no notice of that, as you can see on the Pub sign it is the Three Tuns.

Can anyone remember the Three Tuns Public House in Willenhall? ......  I believe it has now been demolished. My gt grandparents were the publicans here circa 1905, I would love to see a picture  of the pub, does anyone know where I might find one?

Hello Alyson,

Not sure if you're interested in the history of the Three Tuns Pub but, according to the 1861 Census entry, a distant cousin of mine (one Meshach Rowley) may have been the publican. At the time, it was recorded as an Inn and Provision Shop and my cousin was also a General Rimlock Maker. A busy man by the sound of it.

Regards

Hi 3Tuns,

I live just the opposite side of Willenhall town to the pub (over by the Memorial Park) and would - if at all possible - love to hear more on the associated haunting?  I've heard of many different tales concerning the general area, but nothing on this particular property, so I'm greatly intrigued to say the least!! ;) ;)

Very intriguing photograph 3Tuns!!

Whatever it is, it appears to have some cloth-like features to it?  Had this been a transparent, human figure, I would have strongly suggested that it may well have been a by-product of digital camera tech - I've seen lots of photographs along those sorts of lines - but, if it was possibly a mis-interpreted object............ what on earth was it???? :o

We've been asked to view photographs by many sources in the past - incl. on behalf of Radio, TV and other media concerns - but this one is one of the more interesting anomalies I've seen, I must admit......
