Pubs Of The Past

Thanks Mike /Janice/Kieron for the interesting research on Stour Street.This made me remember I don’t have a name for the one in the Nechells group,Heneage St Cnr of Henry St,but this has probably been covered and I haven’t got round to looking.

Kelsey's didn't have too many pubs in Birmingham, the Trees on Bath Row probably the most notable. This house in Heneage Street was the Shepherd and Shepherdess.

The photograph of the Plough and Harrow on Moseley Road is interesting, it seems unusual to have a single storey pub like that.
I noticed it was next to the Alhambra cinema which closed in 1968 and found this old photo - no pub next door when this was taken.

Interesting-I don’t have a date for this but the Belgrave was 1967 and I would have thought this is about the same.I shall have to go back to these and put dates on where I can.Why I didn’t do that I don’t know. Looking at the house to the left I find it hard to tie up the windows in the two photos and of course how can it be on a later photo,if that is the case ?

Yes it's odd isn't it - I wasn't being critical of the information you had posted!
I'm sure it's the same cinema isn't it?
 
I think it is the angle the photograph was taken from that JUST misses out the pub. The 1957 one is full on , and shows the gap to the left of the air raid shelter (?) on the far left, which you do not see on the photo from an angle. Certainly, The Plough & Harrow is listed there in the 1956 Kellys and up to the 1969 edition (which can be taken to refer to 1968. It has disappeared from listings in the 1970 edition, though that does not mean the building itself was not still extant. The initial phot from Oldun to me looks as if it might not still be used as an actual pub, as the board giving licensee's name etc seems to have gone
 
I found it slightly amusing to see that the electoral rolls for 1925 and 1927 describe it as The Plough & Harrow Hotel - by present understandings perhaps slight delusions of grandeur.
 
Just back.Re your 8.13 pm post,A Sparks-I wouldn’t take you wrong.I appreciate your observations and I remain grateful for your help not long after I started.I was going to suggest more photographic evidence but I see that thanks to yourself and Mike
things have come on a pace.I agree same cinema,good photo,and further info/observations all interesting.Great stuff.
 
I was actually only looking to see if the cinema was still there out of interest, I know Moseley Road slightly but I couldn't remember seeing it - that was how I picked up on the apparent disappearance of the pub!

View attachment 61774 There are too many posts to trawl through for me to check so forgive me if these have been used recently.
I am hoping Mike or one of the others will be able to verify this one for us. I have it down as The Dolphin, Warwick Rd Acocks Green and around 1927 Mrs Alice Pagett was the licensee.
I was born in Acocks green in 1940 so this was a bit before my time but it does not look anything like the Warwick Road I remember from my childhood.
there was a dolphin pub on dolphin lane in acocks green, it was just off the warwick road
 
The photograph of the Plough and Harrow on Moseley Road is interesting, it seems unusual to have a single storey pub like that.
I noticed it was next to the Alhambra cinema which closed in 1968 and found this old photo - no pub next door when this was taken.

Great photograph of The Alhambra cinema A Sparks! The first picture house that I ever used. I remember very well queuing in front of those steps on a Saturday morning to get into the 'ABC Minors Saturday Club'. My mother used to take us there also on school holidays to watch the Disney films. Unfortunately as we moved away in about 1964 when I was about 12 my memory of any pubs is very limited, unlike a few years later!
