ollieandarch Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I was amazed to see the new building near Asda turn out to be a pub/restaurant called 'The Sword Dancers', it seems to have popped up in no time at all! I'm not sure if it is open yet, but it looked like it as I drove past. A brave venture in a time when pubs are closing down left, right and centre. It looks quite smart though, I wish them well.

Phili Buster Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yes, strange to see this built directly opposite the Norfolk which is now a nursery - but good to see this old stone clad building put to good use rather than demolished. Think The Sword Dancer (what a weird name) opens early to mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem quite busy around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILLY Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Named after the Handsworth sword dancers. Handsworth forum asked for people to submit names and this was what they came up with. It should do well as it is much different to the other pubs in the area being a family orientated one I hope it does it certainly looks good.
