#349, looks like a Vickers .303, heavy, but may be wrong, my dear Uncle Horace Manton, was a dispatch rider for the Home guard, Handsworth Div, and is in one of the "Birmingham" magazine articles!!

Sounds like the old "Trocadero", to me, but I last visited in around 63, so could have changed its name and decor, not sure if I have spelt the name right !!
