I have uploaded what I know of the Rutland Arms at : www.midlandspubs.co.uk/warwickshire/birmingham/heath-street/rutland-arms.htm

I have put up a basic framework for this street : https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/warwickshire/birmingham/heath-street/index.html Just maps etc. at the moment.

Sharon got in touch with me - hence me logging in for the first time in a while. I have been busy with a rebuilding programme so ALL links previously posted will not work I'm afraid. I will try to sort out the Rutland Arms this week. Hope everybody is keeping well.

From my website images ... BTW this pub belongs to Tanworth-in-Arden. This dates from around 1937, the year in which the new building was re-rated. It was probably just completed as there is no signage. I am pretty sure that it was built for Atkinson's.

Doh, I see you have posted before that you were at 118 so ....... you must have been able to see the Mission Room from your back garden. Any memories? Also, I know it had gone when you were there [map is 1889] but what did the Fire Brigade station evolve into?

Only one post for the Villa Street thread - bizarre. I know there are threads for places like the Villa Tavern but it seems odd given that Astoness lived here. Anyway, this is for you Lynn - a decent-sized map with numbers. Which one was yours?

I have done a little bit on this micro-area because I had some pics. There may be something of interest here : www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/moseley-road/ - I have included a photograph of building use after the church closed.

For those who patronised "The Goodies" I have uploaded a page for this inter-war pub. Lots of photographs with many of the rooms featured, along with the bowling green. I have provided details of the architect and sculptor etc. Plus, a mention of the day when the leader of the opposition did a...

Hi Janice, I was intrigued by this so have done a little digging myself. I have posted some notes at www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/stratford-road/ which may help - or add to the confusion :confused:
