In the late 1930's the Peel Arms became a farm, leaving the three pubs in centre of the village which remain today.

A long-term resident remembers back to the middle years of the twentieth century:

The three Public Houses all served Draught Beer brewed in Lichfield at Lichfield Brewery, which was later taken over by Ind Coope and Allsopps.  All the pubs had dart boards, the Bell had a skittle game, and the Dog had a shooting gallery for Air Rifles.  All the pubs had a piano and were frequently played for a sing song. The Odd Fellow Friendly Society Lodge nights and the Buffs were held at the Bell.  The Swan had a wooden building sited on the other side of the lane, which was used as a dance hall mainly; it was always patronised by soldiers from the Barracks, dancing to live music and changing partners, as was the case at all dances, that made them into real social gatherings.
