Acorn Hotel Erdington

[Vivienne14]

This Britain from Above image is the best photo yet that I’ve seen of the old Acorn in Erdington High Street. It was once a substantial pub, had a bowling green and was certainly a key place within the Erdington community. Pity it’s the sad, soulless looking place it’s become. I also found an advert from the British Newspapers Archive showing what was on offer at the pub. The advert goes back to 1909 - a poor quality image of the pub but it was obviously once a sizeable building being both pub and hotel. Viv.

My late husband and I had our wedding reception, in 1954, at The Acorn too; I can't remember the annexe so assume that was a later addition.
