Demolished 2/5/2002. Closed 12/1/2002. Site is now a small development of 12 houses now occupies the site, the street that serves them is aptly named Wembley Close. Planning Application DC/007527 | Demolition of public house and erection of 12 two and three bedroom dwellings with new access road off Adswood Road. Granted 13/9/2002. History: Large roadhouse-style house built in 1934 by Wilsons Brewery to cater for the new inter-war housing developments being constructed in the locale. It was built on the site of the historic former Adswood Hall, nearby was another historic old house: Batesley (at the start of Garners Lane). The Wembley Hotel name came from Wilson's Wembley Ale which, although much used in football-related adverts in the 1930s, was unconnected to the sport. Rather, it derived from a corruption of 'WMB', the abbreviation for Wilsons Mild Beer, a particularly good seller at the time, and thus 'Wembley' Ale was born in 1932. Multi-roomed layout with rooms for functions and catering. For a time in the 1970s the pub was styled as The Doubloon, yet in the succeeding two decades it gained a tainted reputation as with so many of these large pubs which saw trade fall away leaving the community without a focal point.
