The Mermaid Sparkhill, a popular pub in the 70’s on a Thursday and Frida.
Also a regular pick up place for the (then) Irish community looking for casual work on construction sites ; from building to pipe laying, concreting, etc.
I did a few ‘shifts’ there my mates to earn a few quid some weekends, the only issue was if you did a good shift on a Saturday by the time you got home and washed , you were to tired to go out on the night to spend your earnings , but great memories
