The post from Chooky on Mar 9th 2019 (above) includes a photo. The link to Lost Pubs states the Photo is the Hope & Anchor on Navigation Street.
 
The photo in post 28 originally came from Joseph McCanna's "Central Birmingham Pubs" where it is attributed to Navigation St. I see no reason to doubt that. There were a number of Hope & Anchors, It was a popular name In the 1890 Kellys there are listed 7 pubs of that name, and that does not include any beerhouses (which did not hold a licence allowiing them to sell wines or spirits on the premises)
