EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Wheel Inn Public House in Worfield, Shropshire, England. Nestled in the picturesque village of Worfield, near Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, this historic pub dates back to the 1900s. The Wheel Inn, with its charming red brick exterior and inviting sign, has been a beloved local watering hole for generations. Publican H. Gallant proudly stands in front of the establishment, exuding a sense of warmth and hospitality. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with horse-drawn carriages and villagers in traditional attire milling about the area. The pub's quaint design, complete with wooden beams and cozy fireplace, would have provided a welcoming refuge from the harsh realities of rural life. The Wheel Inn's rich history is rooted in the community, as it has served as a gathering place for locals for over a century. It is believed that the pub's name derives from the nearby Worfield Mill, which was once powered by a large water wheel. The pub's close proximity to the mill would have made it a convenient stop for workers and travelers alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace and community was at the heart of daily life. The Wheel Inn Public House remains a cherished piece of Worfield's history, continuing to serve its patrons with the same warmth and hospitality that H. Gallant once provided.
