The Champion Jockey was situated on Wrekin Drive. This pub was named after Gordon Richards, who was born locally. The pub was closed in 2008 and demolished in 2010.

A typical estate type pub, served a rather indifferent pint of Bass, as I recall. Went down there every now & then for a game of pool - had a couple of minor league hustlers there who would play 'for a pint'. then up the ante to a fiver, then £20, & suddenly improve their game. Shut in 2008, I think, knocked down for development.
