The new sign at the Weavers Real Ale House at Park Lane, 40 Park Lane, Kidderminster
Although this public house only opened in April 2014, the original pub sign was replaced quite quickly by this new one. It shows a group of people, presumably weavers, enjoying their drinks. Although the carpet industry in Kidderminster has declined, there are still a small number of firms manufacturing carpets in the town. However none remain in the town centre. At one time there were carpet factories at the other end of Park Lane. Some of the buildings remain but are no longer connected with the carpet industry. No doubt after the long hours in the mills, many of the workers were keen for a drink and the town centre contained many public houses to cater for them. In recent years the number has declined drastically.
