Public Houses

Astonian

gone but not forgotten
Hi Guys,
As I Have Just Previously Said There was twenty five Public Houses Around The bull ring in the early years of brum
They played An Important Part In the lives Of Residents, Business people and the visitors To The area,
They were Social Events For get Together for concerts, sing song and various Shows
There were Over Twenty five In The area and the majority of these No Longer Exist
The Following Details Will I hope Will bring Back Those Happy Memories Of Yesterday,
I Myself Recall The stories My Mother Told me Of Being Close To The Bull ring Living at number 1 New Canal Street , Just
At The Bottom of The Bull ring where She Was Brought Up In A Big House And Ajoing Transport coffee shop
known As bed and Breakfast For Transport Drivers and It Was Next To Typhoo tea And The stories Of Big Parties
Being carried out There she Some had come From Abroad whom Stayed And some was Top brassed police officers and magistrates
Was also was wee Georgie wood and billy cotton band leader whom they travelled with quite often abroad
My youngest Sister As got These pics of them all Together
But without loosing the threads on the bull ring the civic centre many years Ago Was A Music Hall
And She told Me How her Mother Had put Her Into Tap School For years and trained very hard ToBeLike her mother
And her sister whom was married to A Perks whom also Had A Dance School Down in nechells Park Road In the 1800
she Was Also A stage Dancer The whole Three of them my nan, Bertha Hinton kept a monkey in a large cage and every where she went he went with Them
I Believe this club became a. communist club one of George jelfs places
And one of them I think she said it washer great brand father done some comparing There
So As it was in those days public house was the thing Of Yesteryears. And The Davonports came weekly With bar tells
