I know it's a long shot, but does anyone on here have any photos of the now closed or demolished pubs on the wood, like The Roundhouse, The Happy Trooper, The Yeoman, The Hiker, The Friendly Inn, The Trusty Servant, The Southern Cross or any I have missed off ?:violin:I drank in all of these at some stage to various degrees, but haven't got any photos except a few recent of the Trusty(boarded up) and Friendly(now a old peoples home). Cheers Carlb36
 
i wouldn't mind seeing a picture of The Yeoman myself, had many a good night in there. No one thinks to take a photo at the time do they.
 
Yes she does run the greenwood, but I haven't seen any posts by her for a while perhaps she is on holiday. Alf she won't spot the Yeoman it was knocked down years ago and replaced by houses, I past there this morning taking my grandson to the doctors, but I cannot understand why there are no photos to be found. Perhaps there might be come in the library.
 
Great pub pictures, whats the name of the pub in the 2nd picture.. it looks so familiar but i cant name it, im only 27 so it prob got knocked down when i was a nipper lol

I cant say i ever knew a White Horse in Chelmsley astonian, are you thinking about The White HART on Gresel Lane. Max
 
The only ones I can think of that are actually left on Chelmsley Wood are The Centurion, The Prince Hal, The Greenwood and The Bluebell (the old aquarius)

You too mate, actually the White Hart is very popular, in the summer there was always people outside supping. Max

The Centurian was my Local when i lived on Forth drive back in the early 70s. The best kept secret on the Wood was the Post Office club !!! we used to get in there for late night boozing when the pubs had turned out. Max
