Description:The Anglesey Hotel, Hednesford viewed from Market Street. It was built in 1831 by Edmund Peel of Tamworth, son of Sir Robert Peel of Drayton Manor and brother to Robert, sometime British Prime Minister. Known as Hednesford Lodge, it provided stabling for Edmund's race horses and family accommodation when they visited; Hednesford Hills being eminently suited to the training of horses due to its springy turf. The Marquis of Anglesey acquired it by 1867 and it was transformed into the Hednesford Commercial Hotel and later the Angelsey Arms run by the Eskrett family. In 2015 it reverted to its original name, Hednesford Lodge, when it opened as a public house, part of the J.D. Wetherspoon chain.
