The Britannia, 287 Lichfield Road, was run by my Great Grandfather’s brother Linneus Cutler around 1884 (From Kelly's Directory 1880). He moved into the Talford Arms in around 1884, but sadly I think that pup has long gone.
His brother my Great Grandfather, Jeremiah Cutler had the Golden Cross in Short Heath Road around the same time. Also this has now disappeared.
Their father, another Linneus Cutler, had the Hare and Hounds in Marsh Hill in 1872 which passed to his wife Emma Cutler at the turn of the century.
I known know what has been my ruination!
Best wishes, Peter
