The Seven Stars Inn (1), Whitchurch Road near Cold Hatton, Shropshire This public house is for sale and seems to be closed. Situated on the A442 road, it is in the geographic county of Shropshire but in the administrative area of Telford & Wrekin Council. The pub was owned by the company which owned the Oakwell Brewery in Barnsley. In April 2013 the company was closing its brewery and selling the site and all its widely dispersed estate of about 30 pubs. The pub had three small rooms, one with a pool table, and outside a large beer garden with children's play area. The building dates from 1876, according to the date which appears above the first floor front window. Unfortunately its future prospects are not helped by the fact that another nearby pub on the A442 is also currently closed and for sale. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3622591">SJ6220 : The Seven Stars Inn (2) - sign, Whitchurch Road near Cold Hatton, Shropshire</a>. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3622649">SJ6220 : The Seven Stars Inn (3), Whitchurch Road near Cold Hatton, Shropshire</a>. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3622690">SJ6220 : The Seven Stars Inn (4) - beer garden, Whitchurch Road near Cold Hatton, Shropshire</a>.
