Frothblower, upload pic of the Pub and I will have a look how paintable it is, but I have to have a "feel" for the subject to do a passable painting. I lived in Erdington 25 years at Hillside Rd off Slade Rd and have visited the Lad in the Lane a few times but it was in the 60s and 70s so it may have altered somewhat. I did come 3rd in a National Compotition for a pub painting for the front cover of the annual "Quiet Pub" book, I painted "The Tramway Inn" in Hereford and it was exhibited with the winner and other runners up at the Mall Gallery London, it was the first painting I ever sold in London, I was proud as punch. That was many years ago.
