The Seven Stars, formerly known as Ye Old Seven Stars Inn, Reyners, now known as Direct Furniture Bilston, or also known as 22 High Street, is a former public house in Bilston, West Midlands, England.[5][2]

History

[edit]

Edward Beebee, a victualler and stonemason extant between 1811-12, supposedly owned a public house named The Seven Stars along High Street, Bilston during the early 19th century.[4]

The original Ye Old Seven Stars Inn building, which was owned by Old Dickison, was demolished shortly after October 1932,[3] and the current Seven Stars was built in a mock timber frame style in 1934.[1] It operated as a public house until the mid 1970s,[2] and before 2004, the building had become a nursery known as Reyners[1] (which has since moved to 15 High Street), and sometime after December 2009,[2] the building became occupied by Direct Furniture Bilston; the upstairs of the building has also seemingly remained vacant since the 1970s.[2]
