The pub, part of the Stonegate Group, is believed to be one of the oldest in the area and the oldest on Delph Road, known locally as The Delph, with the first licensee installed way back in 1834.

Lee said he’s delighted to see the traditional Black Country boozer back open and he added: “The Delph Run is officially back, the famous pub crawl dating back to the beginning of time according to our customers), with the Black Horse reopening you now have the full stretch of pubs with each having their own characteristics.”

The run also includes The Tenth Lock, The Bell, The Vine Inn, Corn Exchange and the Brickmakers Arms.

Lee said he hopes to entice customers along with affordable prices, all beers on tap are under £3.95, reasonably priced food served up by chef Nathan Wheatley, non-alcoholic beverages such as mocktails, coffee and hot chocolate and bar snacks.

The family-friendly pub will also be hosting events including quiz nights on Mondays and live music on Saturdays.

Further refurbishment is also planned to overhaul the pub garden and front areas, with the installation of ramps to allow pushchair and wheelchair access to all areas.
