thanks for the link to that birmingham mail report ell...had i known that my post was going to be quoted in it i would have said something a bit stronger...its another tragic loss for birmingham and one of its famous pubs...perhaps people will now start to believe that nothing is safe if its in the path of HS2...its not just historical buildings that up and down the country are losing..its also peoples homes..businesses...ancient woodland..burial grounds being dug up and bodies removed from their final resting places (this has happened with our own park st burial ground).this project is a force that can not be reckoned with...how right brian travers was to say that birmingham will soon have no past...we have been saying that on this forum for years
graham if you read this post and you ever do another write up on this subject you are quite welcome to quote my latest post...and as proof of HS2 telling me that this pub was to be retained here is a snippet of the plans they gave me
