Rose Tavern - Sparkbrook

Not been in here for 21 years,but it's still hanging in there,and given the area that's quite an achievement.

Still there Lyn. Not sure if it’s more cafe than pub (?) or pub with cafe ! Viv.

The pub was extended and a dining room/lounge was added. The 1988 landlords seem to have worked hard to get the Rose on the map. Dining looks to one important development (including breakfasts) in its services at that time. Viv.

My grandad was the landlord there in the 1950s as it’s listed in my parents’ marriage certificate as his residence. His name was Arthur Yarnell
