hi phil
thank you very much for the picture its got my mind flooding back to the yesrter years and its as clear as yester years and recalling most of the street and the familys
dirctly across the rd facing there was a house where a certain young lady lived by the name of anne she was a tal attravive girl whom lived with her aunt
i used to court her she was clever i expect she as married a rich guy now i think alot of these familys from the green got shipped over to the kings heath area
thous were the days phil;well especialy for me at least alot of my old friends lived down the peel street
i will down load the picture and get it blown up and framed thanks again phil and thanks a million; astonian;;

Only just seen this. Lived in Peel Street almost opposite this pub during most of the 1940's and 50's. Lovely to see the photo, which was taken from outside our house or next door. Cannot recall the young lady Anne though. We moved out in 1960 and went to Harborne.

Hi, new to the forum. I have seen a post on the Sir Robert Peel Pub somewhere on this forum. My Gran Parents ran this pub during the Second World War and my Dad tended bar while also working as a volunteer fire fighter. I have tried to trace his history through the fire service however I have been told a lot of those records have been destroyed. My Gran Father died i that pub while living there. My mum met my dad there as well. He has passed away but my mother is still alive at 94 and is very interested in seeing any old photos of the time. My parents migrated to Australia after the war and I serve as a volunteer fire fighter in my local community so would be interested in any information about my father’s role back then. Hope someone can help

The pub in Peel Street had more than one licensee during the war so not looking until a surname is posted.

Edward Taylor was listed as landlord of the Sir John Peel pub in the 1883 and 1883 Kellys, but not in the 1880 or 1884 editions. The only record in the newspaper archive is later in January 1885, him taking over the beerhouse King William IV, in Bradford St
