I have ancestors living at what is called the old bear buildings in Sedgley.  Can anyone tell me what the old bear buildings were please?

Hiya Ruth

When you google 'Old Bear Buildings' it also mentions 'Old Bear' so I'm guessing it might have been building next to a public house. Bear Lane is also mentioned

Saying that there is also mention of New Bear Sedgley

Have you also seen this site for peaple researching names in Sedgley http://www.sedgleymanor.com/names/names-a2m.html

and Sedgley Local History site
