Please feel free to forward your concerns to Birmingham planning via their website. The more the merrier! Woken at 5am this morning as a skip was being filled outside the Gothic. Went to see site manager later who says it was done so as not to disrupt traffic and was a one off. He pointed me...

Hi there I live just up the road from the above building and understand it is grade ll listed. Scaffolding has recently appeared around the entire building and doors marked up in painted letters suggesting something is about to happen. I can find no information on what may or may not be...

I’ve told the planners for what good that will do!

Had a quick look inside today as what little is left is being stripped out before conversion to apartments apparently. The Council have not been able to locate any planning application and I understand it is grade ll listed so what's going on???

Hopefully opens within next week or so, looking good so far

Good new people, the Jewellers Arms reopens very soon after a serious revamp under the ownership of Black Country Ales. Beautiful piece of sign writing outside too!

Good stuff all and thanks for the Lord Nelson pic. I use the cafe most weekdays and can certainly recommend it!

many many even!!!!

Thats the one, The Nelson, manu many thanks

May just have been a beer house but definately appeared in a photo I saw in one of the Birmingham books, I think one of the Hockley ones however my copy is elsewhere at the moment. Gary the current cafe owner also recalls the photo.

Can anyone help with the name/details/pics of a former pub which was in the premises that are now the Hylton Cafe in the Jewellery Quarter? I belive the pub closed in the late 50s/early 60s but could be wrong. Many thanks

Hi there, can anyone help please? What was the name of the pub (which closed in the 1950's I think) which is now the Hylton Cafe on the corner of Hylton and Vyse Streets in the Jewellery Quarter. Many thanks

scary name and a scary looking pub but how i wish I could have seen it. Living literally just up the road from the likely site I also wished i had been living around here when the Gothic was open. would love any detail on that pub plus any pictures people may have. Cheers

Thanks for the responses but i guess the question them becomes why call somewhere vampyre court thats seems very scary!!

any views as to why the pub was called the vampire though, always struck me as an odd name for a pub but also a fascinating one. Cheers
