Great, thanks Mike, and for the map. I'll have a good look now.The photo on post 305 is of a bus outside the Star, which is only three doors away from no 302
Boxing Day football matches still happen at Perry Barr park, but unfortunately playing fields had to be sold after vandalism.
Lots more info on the 1st A BB here https://1abirmingham.boys-brigade.org.uk/Contents.html

Mike,Have lightened the photo, as below with map c 1950. The pub in the photo is Bridge St west on a corner which looks like it is a very sharp corner, which would fit entirely with it being the Star. As far as I can see there are no other pubs in Bridge St west that fit with those conditions and that photo, so it must be the Star
