The site of The Chainmaker, on Colley Gate in Halesowen, which also includes a former brewery and car park, is on sale for £725,000. Last year it went on the market for £825,000.

Planning permission for the former brewery/outbuildings to be refurbished and converted into three one-bedroom flats and building two three-bed houses - which would be similar in appearance to neighbouring houses on Colley Gate - was approved in January 2023.

At present the building - which ceased being a trading pub around a decade ago - is used as a children's play centre with a flat on the first floor.
