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.
Yes it's odd isn't it - I wasn't being critical of the information you had posted!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 ?
According to Streetview the site is now part of Calthorpe academy (or possibly partly the road outside), and has been since at least 2008It says on the Lost Pubs website that it's now a cafe - not sure how up to date that is.
there was a dolphin pub on dolphin lane in acocks green, it was just off the warwick roadView 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.
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!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.

No longer there. Now an Aldi supermarket. Pub run at one stage, I think, by Freda Cocks a one time mayor of Birmingham.there was a dolphin pub on dolphin lane in acocks green, it was just off the warwick road
