There is a very fine display on Birmingham centre, with three fascinating snaps of: The Golden Lion, The Old Crown, St John's Church (Stoneyard) - where the first English language bible was printed (before the time of the building in the photograph). The definition, depth of field and dignity is worthy of note.
My question is that there was a massive bruhaha about relocating the 1400s tavern removed just before WW I from Deritend High Street to the nearby park. (Surprisingly not Highgate!) The great confabulation attendant was quite a roburant. But then perhaps overshadowed by a lot of scurrilous mountebank activity - such as the preposterous notion of renaming Moor Street to The Bull Ring instead of Moor Street Station at The Bull Ring (as though decent people have to think in Kit Kat sound bites). So, what is happening?
There was a cooperage as part of the pub, which was actually the only surviving one of that busy thoroughfare at that time - The Old Crown being still a manor house.
I consider the denizens and pioneers of Birmingham are entitled to better service than what has hitherto obtained.
Incidentally, the reach of Aston - as cited in the article at this site - was clearly very considerable. Is there a map of the extent and when it changed? (Presumably the Victorian era.)
Fascinating altogether and thanks for a beautifully contemplative display.
