In the 60s there was a pub just outside the entrance to the old New Street Stn which was known as the Station. It was very popular with the Irish who used it as a meeting place before they caught a train to Hollyhead which used to leave at 10-10 pm. Many an Irishman got so settled in the Station...
In the early 60s I was a bct conducter and we used to use the MidlandRed club in Digbeth. It was then run by an Irish man called Danny, he had a very gentle voice and when It came to closing time He would call out `See the good beers off please`
