Stockland pub closed down

I think its very sad to see these pubs closing the doors.
I've said this before, the only way us customers can help put a stop to the doors closing, is to remember the good times we all have had in (our pub).

Is to remember to good times we have had. I'm sure you will get a warm welcome should you return.

When you walk in ( I hope you will ) it may put a smile on your face when old memory's come back.

I ask you to have a thought for how hard the last few years have been for all of us.

Think of the cost of keeping doors open, pubs need a lot of lights on, they spend more in one day then most of us will use in a month.

I hope I've given you food for thought and I hope you enjoy that beer in you old local.
Drink responsible.

I wonder when it first opened. I remember it as a kid when we visited my uncle who lived in Dallas Road. Wife and I visited it when it was a Chinese Self Service taking friends who lived nearby for lunch. Wonderful building. No doubt in my mind will be used for housing development
 
From Brewery History site

"Stockland Inn, Marsh Hill, Stockland Green, Erdington, Birmingham, West Midlands

A fine 1924 pub by Bateman & Bateman for Mitchells & Butlers Ltd. Five stone pillars around the car park have 'M&B' lettering carved into the sandstone on each side - 20 instances in all. However, most are badly weather-eroded"

There's also a thread about the Stockland Inn here

Stockland Inn Hotel

Situated at Stockland Green on the corner of Marsh Hill, Slade Rd and Streetly Rd. First it was built as The Stockland Hotel then it changed to The Stockland Inn and now as I have just got back from their it is Modern China a buffet restaurant and bar and I noted another 2 old pubs I passed had...

What a pity to see another well known Erdington pub close. I had hoped it would continue to trade as a public house after it changed from a Chinese Buffet "Modern China" to "The Village Green" and sold it's bowling green for flats, but Birmingham Live now reports that "question marks hangs over the future of the site". Greene King has said "it had worked with staff to find jobs in other premises in the area" and "was reviewing its options for the sprawling building". That doesn't seem to have taken them too long, as it is now for sale @ £875,000 on Rightmove!

Here are a couple of photographs of it, when it was in it's prime:
