Cannot find them in the 1939 register, but 1945-7 at least they were at the Baltic Inn 276 Sherlock Street.

Thank you mikejee. I remember my Nan talking about "the baltic" now. Was I wrong about the Clements Arms? That could possibly have been much earlier.

I can find no mention, but do not have all years Kellys, so cannot defmitely say they were not there

Arthur & Ivy Davies were at 300 Gooch Street 1952-7 at least. This was the Clements Arms. It was discussed on https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/threads/star-inn-gooch-street.13635/

The 1886 map has a lamp post on the corner by the church, so would suggest that the second photo is the earliest
