Hi Nick,
That Hoskins would I guess to have been Hoskins and Sewell the metal bed manufacturers.
I have never been in the Clements but when I worked at R Whites Soft Drinks in the 60s/70s,
we had a rep called Dave Prew who used it regularly, and was always singing its praises.
Kind regards
Dave
Hello Zar, good to see you have found this thread of interest. I have only just read it as I was never old enough to frequent pubs when I lived south of the city had no real interest in them other than their architectural merits.
I notice some of the photos in post 19 by Lyn are missing. I wonder f they can be rescued?
I am sure the thread will be followed with interest as you progress towards your goal.
hello zar and welcome and thanks for joining this forum and even more thanks for saving this wonderful building and hopefully keep some of the original features where possible....the plans you have for sound good to me and when it is finished we certainly do not mind advertising the fact so that anyone wishing to do so can pay you a visit so please keep us informed of developements...i notice that that the photos i posted listing all the previous landlords has been lost...when you took over did you save the framed lanlords names?? i may still have the photos but i would have to check my files

Hi old brummie, I worked at Hoskins & Son in 1976/1977. What was your dads name ?Hi Dave89
Can I correct you re "Hoskins". There were two companies. Both competing against each other.
Upper Trinity Street was "Hoskins & Sons" where my Dad worked. Then, under the railway bridge and turn right to go into town
and on the left hand side was "Hoskins & Sewell". There may have been a family connection of which I am unaware but Hoskins
& Son was connected to The Chamberlain Family.
