Gone but not forgotten
I was using it with my Son in law every other Sunday lunch time since my Wife died in 1998 until it closed (about 2 years ago). I completed the painting of the Lounge in 2009. There was also a bar with a huge wall TV and possibly an off licence. Eric

Gone, but not forgotten.
The Fox & Goose Washwood Heath Rd, the only time I ever used this pub was when they had no beer which must have been during a strike by the draymen in the 70's I think. There has been a pub on these crossroads since the late 1600's or so I read the early pub was called the Golden Cross but at sometime the name was changed to the Fox & Goose Hotel with it's home brew & stabling. This in turn was demolished and rebuilt in the early 1900's in a mock Tudor style by architect Holland W Hobbis who normally built churches and schools.
The photos show the Fox & Goose in the late 1800's when Washwood Heath Rd was just a country lane, then a later photo when it was becoming a built up area which couldn't have been long before it was demolished. Then we have a photo of the new build pub and finally a recent photo.

Sorry this reply is not about pubs but the shop next door I think belong to my ancestors the "Landcastle Family" then later on a Joseph Hampton. Can anyone remember the shop! (sorry this thread was to go with the photo of the Shakespeare Inn on Great Colmore Road)

R. J .Bradshaws Dinning rooms in Dudley Street used to run by my great, great, great grandmother Elizabeth Bayliss, she was also known as Elizabeth Goldby. She ran the dinning rooms between 1871 till she died in 1881 when her daughter Mary Ann Sparrow ran it for a short while.

Good...Yes it is one of my faves of our Old Brum Pubs...this must run it close though....The Drovers Arms...1887...
Hi
Thanks for replying. My grt,grt,grt grandmother Elizabeth b 1823 married Richard Goldby in 1867, but they didn't stay together long. They were found to have argued in the street about Richard having an afair with a lady he worked with at a Hotel (So it says in a newspaper cutting I have). Richard is found remarried after Elizabeth's death in 1881. Elizabeth also had a few articles in the paper where she ended up in court and for a fight breaking out at the Dinning Rooms. Elizabeth herself was born in Handsworth but lived in Lodge Rd and Bacchus Winson Green around 1840. Before running the Dinning room she ran a Dinning Room/Refreshment House in Chapel St by St Bart's.

Peter

hi bayliss ;
the more i read your thread i am more than intrigued to dig out my tit bits of uncle bill [ william] as if i recall they split up and he married some-one else and thats why cousin ray changed is name from goldby and eventualy got married but the break up of william and goldby i shall never know
i dont think i should asked ray if he recalsbreakng up from his mother all those years ago [ as the old saying goes let sleeping dogs lay ;]
the last time i read the abode hey was i think it was at 138 winson green rd which also corresponds to your addres of bccus rd and lodge rd wich is just the bottom end of winson green by the prison walls around the bend so its abit like a coincidence there might just be a connection ;
it will be tommorrow before i can cross check the full name of goldby and and the years it was in he early years of life i,m afraid
but i will come back to you okay speak soon astonian;;
