I was back in Brum for a few days at the end of January. Took a walk through Digbeth taking in the Eagle and Tun which by then had been closed down. So sad that this storied pub is going to be demolished.
Couldn't Birmingham Council have refused permission and insisted that it be retained within the new station as was originally mooted? Looking at the pub building, the quality of the brickwork detailing around the second story and on the chimney is superb. All to be smashed down by the wrecking ball.
Why can't the powers that be in Birmingham show a little more respect for the city's heritage?
