A Halesowen pub celebrated its 50th anniversary by having a weekend of celebrations and raising £431.80 for charity.

The Maypole had an auction, taking bids for a signed West Bromwich Albion signed football and a signed Halesowen Town football shirt and a free MOT at Palmers Garage.

Brett and Marsha Gould also held a happy hour where all alcohol was priced at 1957 prices, with the equivalent of a pint costing 20p.

All money raised was split between Halas House and the Paul McCann trust fund, in memory of the Halesowen sailor who was tragically killed in March.

Landlord Brett said: "It was a fantastic success, we had really good night."
