Gone but not forgotten
OK, this may be a forlorn request, but you lot never usually let me down…I was reading Eliezer Edwards’ ‘The Old Taverns of Birmingham’, and in his final chapter, he devotes it to a real Tavern oldie, The Cross Pistols in Slaney Street. Now I was fascinated by his description of this hostelry, and just wondered if the wizard mikejee, or any other BHF top order sleuth, might conjure up some idea of where in Slaney Street this was…mike produced a map yonks ago, which I enclose, of Slaney Street for another query on here…..but I wondered if he could pinpoint on it where the Cross Pistols might have been located..?
Clutching at straws a little, I also enclose Tarlington’s painting of Snow Hill showing Galton’s old House where the Lunatics once met, and wondered if that was a pub further down, and if so it’s name?
With thanks for any response….
