Hi There paulyx what picture of the pub you say i have got confused by saying i am thinking of lozells road
on the subject of the stork pub which i knew very well indeed and just to mention i put this picture of that pub on this forum about two or three years ago and along with the question to Lynn Astoness was that pub still standing
because i had taken the picture from a book with the identical picture and i know of finch roadand villa road
going back years from groing up and actually working in finch rd which was on the other side of the road for a company as a tool maker
plus i have been ito that pub for drinking lunch time breaks from work plus i was involved with some think
for a certain group of people on a evening visit so i could not mistake that pub for the bell on lozells road
which i know very well from being living in berners street , and victoria road and for upper thomas street school
and for delivering milk around handsworth for the old midland counties dairies milk in the sixties
and my old long time friend mario whom parents ran the coffee shop for years next to the bell on lozells road
i do not want to offend you in any way, i only want to put the record straight for any mistakes that may have been put
that i never refered to the stork pub as the bell ,
and i think i can clarify carolina,s mention there was a nother stork pub within the old city of brum around the same period which i have also got in another book i will try and fish it out later all being well best wishes Astonian,,,,
