Eagle & Sun, Hanbury Wharf, Worcestershire, England - Pubs and Inns on Waymarking.com

From their website:-
History of the Eagle and Sun, Hanbury Wharf.

Although it is not clear exactly when the Eagle and Sun was built on the site adjacent to the junction of the Birmingham to Worcester Canal and the Droitwich Canal (Droitwich Junction Canal) it is believed to have been in the 1830’s.

The Pub which is also alongside the Saltway Roman road, is considered therefore to be approaching 200 years old but its exact date is unknown. From maps of the period it would appear that it was not documented in 1831, but appears in the 1879 revision.

However from the records of the Hanbury Gazetteer, it would seem that a licensee was documented in 1855 a certain Mrs Mary Bourne, Victualler followed by Mr Samuel Clarke, Licensee Shopkeeper in 1879.

Interestingly at that time the Pub was called The Railway Tavern, obviously connected with the Birmingham – Gloucester railway and the Droitwich Road goods Station just 400 yards east.
