I read the article but it I could not find any agreement that the Black Country Museum would take it, even if the money could be found.
Indeed Lyn, it is not that the city did not have anywhere when you think of all the large former industrial and railway sites that have become housing estates and tin shed style business parks.thinking about it again i dont see why the black country museum should save the eagle and tun...its not one of their buildings and they have been busy for almost 50 years saving their own history and are still doing so...just a shame birmingham did not have the same vision...just think what buildings we could have saved...
What about the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings near Bromsgrove?
I mentioned this some posts ago Bob. But I did say that renovation, particularly the inside, would be required if it was to fit in with the prestigious plans for the area.According to information on the Hs2 Curzon st station map, the Eagle and Tun pub will be incorporated into the new Hs2 station. No mention of demolition etc. Have things changed?
Or even better a glazed tile. Doubt if they will bother to try and preserve them
I fear that's a collection that could become a large one.as i said earlier and shown on post 25 this pub closed a couple of days ago and awaits demo unless of course someone with a lot of money can afford to rebuild it brick by brick at another location and i really cant see that happening...so if anyone would like to grab a brick as a momento i have quite a few from various pubs (4 i think) that have been demolished keep your eyes on the site...
