The building's still there but called something else, someone might be able to get it on streetview for us, bit technical for me!

 

[Macca]

The Olive Branch was situated at 182 Adderley Road Saltley, its now known as The Diamond Suite. It must have been rebuilt at some stage as the current building has a round bay window whilst Lynns picture above doesn't. Its been mentioned on here before.

The Olive Branch was a pub Michael often visited in his teenage years as his friends Dad ran it. His friend worked across and up the road at the wire drawing mill.

A location plan and a photo of the building a couple of years back, no exterior changes to the original building except for signage and decoration. It's been decorated again since this photo in a sort of battleship grey. Te building in the original photo was replaced by the one that is posted here.
