The viaduct pub lawley street

[Astoness]

pretty sure this has to be the viaduct pub in lawley st....i wonder what is going on as everyone seems to have their heads turned to the right looking at something...there looks to be some sort of vehicle coming along but i cant make out what it is...

mike could i have a map please showing the location of the pub as it looks like it could have been next to the viaduct...it never ceases to amaze me how these photos keep turning up

As I have said on the other Lawley Street thread, it was definitely The Viaduct, I remember it well. Next to Belmont Passage and in the shadows of the railway arches.

When I worked for Tommy Baumber in Belmont passage late sixties one of our mechanics used to spend as much free time as possible drinking in there, pleased when I moved on to Esso Bromford as a contractor working for Tommy.

I know the mechanic you are referring to. He did spend an awful amount of time in the pub. Stricken with the shakes when I knew him.

I remember Tommy senior and junior, also Eric and Harry.

Do you remember Ronnie Misselbrook.

I also spent a lot of time down at Bromford contracting to Spencer Abbott.

Hello Bob

I only worked at the yard for two weeks then Esso for 12 months on nights, this would have been 1968 as I started for SM&BP in January 1969. Eric used to recover the broken down Esso vehicles so often saw him, Tommy senior I met occasionally when collecting my wages from the yard, can't remember any other staff except those I worked with at Esso.
