Chris Matterface posted these images to Facebook from an unnamed Pub in Walsall.  JB, were you aware of these?
Edited for clarity.

The name of the pub is "The Waterfront".

Yes, I am familiar.

I lived in Walsall for about two days—if you count the half day I was still inside my mother!

We were there because friends had recommended the “maternity home” to my mother as the best in the area. (Time it was: Dad took mom there, dropped her off…and went home!)

As mentioned, The Waterfront, part of the Hungry Horse chain. Have eaten
there many times, and posted these a few years ago.
When I first saw them I was amazed, and very pleased.
There’s also a pub in Bilston not too far away with a JB inspired Superman
on the wall.

I'm old enough to remember when the area where The
Waterfront is was a Ford car dealership and houses! No
retail park or pubs/eateries!
