Hello Glynis, i havn`t been up to stirchley in few years so wasnt aware of the fire, is the actual building still there??,such a shame all these old buildings are sadly disappearing!!
 
The Breedon lay derilect for a number of years after a fire in the 90's, it was then demolished and as Liz says apartments were built and are called Breedon Court. It was a pub for bikers even in the 60's,my cousin used to ride into the car park on his Ariel Square Four posing away as was the norm in those days.

Me and my husband went there pretty much every week night, it was our local early to late 70s, Mick and Marcell Bugg run it then,
we made friends with a man who had been going in there since the early 50s, everybody knew him as Bill, he shared lots of memory's with us.
