I was born in Coleshill in 1954, and my parents lived with my grandparents in the Kingstanding Pub and then in the Bromford Pub near the racecourse. I don't remember much of the Kingstanding, but the Bromford was enormous , many rooms and on alot of ground, big bowling greens. My parents eventually got to be licensees at The Crown and Gunmakers, I do not know where these were. They then moved to Rugby and run the brand new Crow Pie. They did this for about 18 months then left. My grand parents were Frank and Doris Robinson, my parents were Ken and Valerie Robinson. Great memories, the pubs were big and busy, the roads quiet and not the choice of drinks that there are today.
