Ladbrooke House

[Brookfields Lad]

Does anyone have more info about this building 'Ladbrooke House'?

It has been featured on the t.v programme 'Four in a bed', it is now called 'Ladbrooke Hotel'

It is located in Bordesley street, Digbeth, opposite the old 'Typhoo Tea' factory.

Interesting. The reviews are really good and the prices listed seem very good. Never heard of it before. It looks like it used to be the fertilizer factory of Midland Cattle Products

Wasn't it the old council office, I believe Environmental services were in there, or whatever they were called in the day

What were the features of a "Boswell" house? I recall "concrete" houses in Pype Hayes and Tile Cross. Were these what is being discussed?

It was built for Midland Cattle Products Limited and was their Head Office. It featured on all the company stationary until prior to the second World War - see attached. Midland Cattle Products Limited also had depots at Portsmouth, Portchester and Barking, to my knowledge.
