If you use the Opera Browser, which has a free VPN choice, you could move yourself - internet wise - to Europe or somewhere else maybe. That might allow you to view.

Appreciate the info, however, I've just had my laptop completely rebuilt and limiting my downloads to a minimum. Had previous VPN problems so I'll just have to put up with it. Again, I appreciate your help...someone could post the video to FB I guess..

Unfortunately Lyn, I cannot watch the film as it's not playable outside of the UK.

It seems someone has posted another option (post 120) so you may see it now. For the record the VPN with Opera is built-in and can be switched on and off so it just requires viewing as any other video or news item, so no download needed - unless you wanted to keep the video of course.

So the Utube clip on post 120 is the same as one that I am unable to see?

No not the same, but at least a chance to see some of the inside of the Bartons Arms

A couple of unusual shots of the Bartons Arms - unusual because they were taken from the site of the just-demolished Aston Hippodrome, before the replacement building was constructed

I was just doing research on Birmingham (Barton Arms Pub in Aston and Gas Street Basin) for my new book and came across this History Forum. Had to join it and hopefully connect up with old friends. Born in Birmingham, I spent a lot of time at the Elbow Room in Aston and The Old Contemptibles in Edmund Street. Happy to share memories with the rest of the group and look forward to participating in the Forum.

I'm looking for any information on The Bartons Arms in Aston prior to it's rebuild in the early 1900's.

Any information on owners or landlords or even staff would be appreciated as I can't find anything online about it.

Thanks
Vikki

Thank you. I consider myself reprimanded ! I have removed the offending posts. Viv

It was not a reprimand and I certainly was not offended. My comment was tongue-in-cheek.

in light of its recent closure i am bringing this interesting thread to the top

In the early 1980s my old school St Georges Comprehensive performed an old style musical hall night in the upstairs function room at the Bartons Arms (I doubt a school could perform a show in a pub these days but.....).
Here are a few photos - I will post some more tonight:-

I was shocked when I read this in the morning paper today . I have a lot of fond memories of this pub from when I lived in the area . What I'd like to know is , The Red Pub Co from Tipton are holding the licence for this premises , are a company from the Black Country really that qualified to know the temperamennt of the Brummie's I doubt it .

I passed it a couple of times last night. The pub was in darkness, with no boards up at the windows. I hope the local police are keeping an eye on it, because it presently looks an easy target for the vandals, who appear to like nothing better than to destroy our old pubs and don't seem to care about what they are doing.

 

[Chunky AC]

I have also fond memories of The Barton’s Arms, and a lot to be grateful for. this pub is where my mother and father met.
