The All Nations is one of a very small number of English pubs that never really stopped brewing their own beer — the trade has gone on here at Madeley since 1832, with barely a break, which left it one of the country’s “famous four” home-brew houses by the 1970s. It sits above the Ironbridge Gorge, a plain drinkers’ local pouring its own house ales. Telford Central is about 3km north.
