The Fruiterers Arms
On Stonehall Common, in the east of the parish.
Here are 2 old photographs of the Stonehall Common football team of 1937, kindly sent in by Bill Hill of Canada. The text reads:
"Today's vintage photograph dates from 1937 and is of the Stonehall Common football team outside their HQ at the time, the Fruiterers Arms Pub near Kempsey.
The picture comes from Mrs Trixie Hill of Upper Tything, Worcester whose late husband Frank Hill is seen, second from right of those seated in the front row. His brother-in-law Bill Rickuss was the goalkeeper while another brother-in-law, George Owen (wearing the cap) was landlord of the Fruiterers Arms, running it with his wife Liz. The boy in the group was their son George.
Mrs Hill says that, sadly, all are now dead.
She lists some other members in the 1937 line-up as Jack Preece, Frank Woodward, Bill Kyte, Len Martin, Jack Copson and Jim Caldicott."
