Hi John K
I,ve Just Read Your Request To Marie
On The Suject Of Pubs, And One In Particular
The College Arms Spring Hill
That Brought Memories Flooding Back To Me
I Lived Down The Hill From There ,and That Was One Of
Locals ,
When I Was Youg ,and Two Old Friends Of Mine
Namely David Adams, Graham Frisby ,
We Would Start Our Pub Crawling Expedition
From There After Playing Darts We Knew Most People
There ,
We Would Walk Back Down To The Coach And Horse,s
To The Traffic Lights At Spring Hill And Go Into The
Turf Pub ,then On To Icknield St ,
The Warstone , The Gate , The Mint
Around Into Camden Street , The Grotto Pub
Then Up To The B,a Pub The Duke Of Wellington
The Wind Mill [ Head Barman Stan Kirby ]
Then To The Lee Bridge Tavern And So Every Pub Until
We Got To The Cape And Into The Seven Stars
And Back To The Colledge
At Closing Time We Would Go Down To A Resturant
At The Bottom Of The Cape ,for A Meal
And We Could Meet Young Julie Walters In Her Younger
And Have A Laugh With Her , She Was An Attractive
Young Lady In Her Youth,and She Is Also Agooding Look
Lady Now In Her Prime
Those Were The Days In And Around That Area
I Know So Well ,
John There Was Another Little Pub Just Yards Up
From The Colledge, Can You Recall Its Name
The Land Lady Of That Pub Had A Daughter Whom Was
A Stage Dancer In Black Pool,
And One Week End She Brought The Batchelers Home
With Her , And My Mom Was Doing The Cleaning There
And On The Sunday Morning The One Named Con
Asked Her Would You Like A Cup Of Tea ,
She Said Yes Please He Brought Her A Cup Of Tea And
Gave Her A Peck On The Cheek ,
The Land Lady Said To My Mom ,
After They Had Gone Back
Said Do You Know Whom That Was , She Said No
And Said That Was The Batcholers,and That Was
Connie With The Tea , She Was Pleased As Punch For
Weeks After Thanks For The Memories John

Astonian....I am not from that area and know very little to nothing about...the reason I am after the photo's of both pubs because my close friend and forum member Cheryl Earl great grandfather James (Jimmy) Warner was the publican at both of these pubs at one time or other....He was at the College Arms when he kept goal for Villa againist the Albion in the cup final which the Albion won....Villa fans thought that Jimmy had thrown the game and smashed all the windows of his pub.....
Charlie.....A year or two back I sent someone called Anthony Haynes a email asking him if he ever obtain a photo of the College Arms would he send me a copy because of the above....He (Anthony) had posted a message on the Ted Rudge's web site Winson Green and Brookfields....asking if anyone had stories/photographs because his grandfather Bill Millington ran the pub......?
