The second one is ' The Ivy House Hotel, on the Whitehall Road and Soho Road junction 1907.
The Bull's Head Coventry Road, on the right just after the Swan Yardley as you travel towards the city. I am not sure of the date but the pub was open 1890s, the one and only time I have been in the place was a farewell evening for a friend on the eve of his departure from England for a new life in New Zealand. He was one of Eddie Fewtrells doormen and the place was full of doorstaff from the Brumbeat era.
When the Bull was demolished it moved across the Coventry Rd into old police station....hence new name of Old Bill & Bull.............

Hi..
it is a travesty what happens to all the artefacts what was in these old pubs..grade listing wasn't around then to save things like leaded Windows , etc. ...
How ever I managed to acquire 2 wall lamps from the Duncan Edwards pub in Dudley back in the 80s. .... Brass and lallic glass lamps are now in my lounge at home very nice too !

Pub Historian
Technically incorrect as it was only named the Duncan Edwards in 2001. From 1934 until 2001, including the period to which you refer, the pub was called the Wren's Nest.

Unlike the building itself, very few interiors are protected so the fixtures and fittings are often at risk - and goes to man caves via e-bay!

I see where Dale End was once in an older map.
Anybody any idea about "Dale End Old Engine, 1865, published by Thomas Underwood."
Which old engine is that and why is it there?
Cheers

Three vies of The Boars Head Inn in Perry Barr Inn.

Raz after living in Gt Barr for twenty one years , The Boars Head was a pub I never went into at all . I've been past it umpteen times to collect my daughter from a dance school nearby When she was younger .
Hi all i think much later this building became Burlington Hall which housed our youth club which i went to when i was 14/15 years old it was good X
High Street Aston, and the building is The Beaconsfield Hotel. 1878.

FAZ I remember riding by the pub and looking at the pole with the Boars head on it. Then finally was old enough to go inside for a pint! Only went a few times times but loved that poke!

Looking at the unusual brickwork, I think you may be correct. Here is my photograph of Burlington Hall taken in the 1960s (the sign over the door says, 'Burlington Hall, Neighbourhood Centre'):
