The Bottle and Glass sttod originally on Brierley Hill Road, Brockmoor by the junction with Moor Lane and Leys Road. It backed on to the Stourbridge Canal at the top of the 'Sixteen Locks' near the settlement of Buckpool. The exact date of construction is not known but it is likely that it was built shortly after the Canal was cut between 1776 and 1779. A map of 1822 shows what appears to be our building but under the name of 'The Bush' . By the 1840s it was known as the 'Bottle and Glass', the name it kept until it closed in 1979.
