Thanks for sharing that Mike,
I remember seeing it before,
with one from Pages Lane.
Does anyone remember the
'New' Scott Arms.
If I remember correctly, the old one was 'listed'
but started crumbling when they put the new road through.

A view of the Scott Arms pub below is from another thread https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/for...ught-in-our-old-street-pics.41947/post-548195
A church in the distance behind the house has a faintly striped roof and is the only building in the pic which still exists today and can be seen in 'Google Streetview'.

Hi I am looking for anyone who has any memorabilia regarding the old Scott Arms, back in the day before all the changes happened. Especially when the motorway, Jnct 7 had a massive effect on this once beautiful village!!
My dad lived at 92 Birmingham road, and went to St Margaret's school and then Blue Coat, Head master Mr Tench.. My dad sadly lost his brother in the 1934 just before his 7th birthday. when he was killed outside where he lived. Hit by car travelling salesman, while playing out on his return from sandpits, the driver tried to miss him, but sadly he was killed.This was in the days when traffic was much less and there was no motorway!
Birmingham road was not a lucky place for the Wilkins family, as in 1953 during the Queen's Coronation, my mom and dad, lost their first baby. Also named Susan, due to the G.P refusing to come and help out with difficult breach birth. He called for ambulance, but at the time that service came further a field in Bloxwich.
An inquest into her death established that although, the doctor should have come to assist the birth it was suggested that if the Emergency Ambulance had come from Walsall, she may have been saved. There were changes made due to this inquest to direct emergency services from Walsall and not Bloxwich.
In 1988, my nan also got killed just 50 yards from where she lost Reggie.. A bike and car racing one another from the previous lights near the Catholic church was going to fast to miss her! She never regained consciousness and later died in hospital.
Although, these were sad memories, I grew to love the Scotts Arms and its history.
Especially Redhouse Park and the Beacon Cinema, where as a family we spent so much time! Beacon Pub was a memory for my dad as he played cricket there.. He started writing a story about a young chap days who came from a little hamlet village and antic's he got up and I guess the guy he was writing about was him! I must try and look through it and take some pieces of interest when I can!

c1900 Scott Arms. Looks like some sort of artwork in the arched recess above the door. Or maybe a coat of arms perhaps ? Viv.

The photo in post 2 (replacement) gives a good idea of the heraldic design,
Thanks Alan. Missed that as I merged two threads together after posting my latest post. Viv.
Probably some reference to the Scott family in then design then. http://greatbarrhall.b43.co.uk/scotts.html Viv.

Old Mohawk’s picture #6 above contains a Morris Minor 1000 van introduced late 1956, and a Morris FF truck, introduced 1958, so the date has to move forward a bit from “early 50s”.
I'm an old Scott Armer. I lived as a teenager in Waddington Avenue behind the pub 1958 - 71. Stole my first half pint off my dad there. It was a key Bus service crossroads, West Brom - Kingstanding and Sutton, And Walsall - Birmingham. I waited many hours there for scthe bus to school, sports matches, mates and girlfriends. I don't remember it's demolition but I left for Uni in 1968 and in 1970 had my 21st B'day in the "New" Scott Arms. Shouldn't have bothered. Out of Shot (Left) in Old mohawks picture was a piece of derelict land now part of the precinct. It was a great kids playground for years
Cellars of some old houses for games of soldiers and old gardens that were football and cricket pitches around the year. Anyone have any evidence of what was there before the dereliction.?
