The Whitley (1), 211 Stourbridge Road, Halesowen At one time this was known as the Whitley Hotel. After a period of closure, it re-opened as a real ale pub in March 2011. It was bought by Black Country brewers Real Ale Taverns, and extensively refurbished. It still has a very traditional feel and decor inside, and is popular with local people. The road on the left leads to the pub's rear car park.
