An early photo of the Rising Sun Inn at Moseley Green taken by the Rev. A J Lumbert. This is a glass plate that has been hand-coloured. At first glance today it might seem surprising that a pub was run in such an thinly populated area - but men were once employed at Moseley Green in coal mining and brick making. The railway also passed closed to the pub.
