Hello My grandad William Thursfield kept both of these pubs...the Arms in the 30s 40s maybe and the H and H in the 50's When I was a litle girl I used to stand on the bar at the H and H and recite the alphabet...any memories or photos please?

Does nobody have a photo of the Coachsmiths Arms in Small Heath,or any memories.I would love to be able to file them on my laptop to take to show my Mum,she will be so pleased to see where her Dad lived ...so all you lovely helpful people they must be there somewhere?

Suze love the Hare and Hounds Minworth and go there with our son quite often in the summer as he only lives down the road from there. Jean.

The coachsmiths arms is , i'm pretty sure, the buildong marked red on the map. I did post a picture sometime ago of the scrapyard next door with the pub on the side, but it seems to have been cut. Iim not sure what i filed it under, but will repost when i find it.

My Mum has just said that before Grandad took over the pub the previous landlord had hanged himself .Anybody know anything about that story? It was in the early 50's.
