Firefighters have tackled a blaze at the Sneyd pub on Vernon Way in Bloxwich in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Four fire crews from around the region were sent to tackle a “severe” blaze at the derelict pub at 1.27am on Sunday.
“It was a fire in a two-storey detached, derelict public house. We used three main jets and one hose reel jet to tackle the fire using one hydraulic platform,” confirmed a spokesperson for the brigade.

The pub has been derelict for some time and has been the subject of multiple housing applications, the most recent of which was turned down by Walsall Council in 2019.
No-one was hurt in the fire.
