"Erdington Arms", known as the "Muckman" due to the refuse collectors taking a break there.
Drank there a few times when living on Gravelly Hill.
 
Does any remember the little pub in Clifton Road Balsall Heath between Moseley Road and the railway bridge. My aunt and uncle lived at number 50, right next to the bridge and the alley to Lime Grove and I passed it hundreds of times. My memory is that it was called the Prince of Wales but I think there was another pub by that name in Clifton Road.

The four pubs on Clifton Rd were The Prince of Wales (the one you mention) Just past the Imperial Cinema, The Railway on the corner of Malvern St, the Gladstone on the corner of White St and the Clifton at Ladypool Rd. All of them were on the same side of the road and I'm pretty sure they are all closed now.
