Found this photograph from 1976.

Anyone got any photographs of the Golden Eagle pub? I've been searching for ages with no luck.

I can remember one tuesday night when they introduced a girl on the stage as Michael Jackson's girlfriend. The poor thing nearly got lynched.

The Fillibuster was the pub that was on the corner opposite the Snow Hill car park (The Royal Angus Hotel was just around the corner from it). It changed its name to The West End Bar and was closed down by the police in December 2000. On the same side, if you walked up towards Lloyd House, there...

I passed The Bull's Head every day on my work in Birmingham and I always said I'd go in for a pint, it was a traditional Victorian corner terrace pub. The pub has been closed for over twelve months because I assumed, for refurbishment. The Birmingham Mail has recently reported that it will...

This is a long shot but does anyone have any photographs of the Newman Tonks works around Bridge Street and Hospital Street from the 70's or 80's? I drove by and stopped there the other day and it brought back some happy memories of the time I worked there in the Repair Shop with Bill Jinks...

Hi Wales The Bier Keller was on the right hand side of Needless Alley as you walked down to New Street. There was also a Bier Keller under Bogarts in New Street. A couple of pubs I forgot to mention were The Gilded Cage and The Iron Horse opposite (Stephenson Place?). I can't say I was...

Just read that they are planning to demolish The Longboat in Cambrian Wharf. I must admt that when I visited it last year it felt a little bit run down, but I always remember the summers I spent there, especially the long hot summer of 1976. Lump in the throat time! List of pubs that have gone...

I visited the 'new' shop on Smallbrook Ringway once. Lacked the magic of the old one.

This is a long shot but has anyone got any photographs of Andromeda science fiction bookshop? I think it was in Summerhill near the College of Food & Domestic Arts.

I think the lounge at the back by Needless Alley was covered in a tarten carpet. I remember the gents toilet in the basement was down a near vertical staircase, not what you want when you've had a few! I always went in the lounge upstairs. I had some great times there and to say my jaw...

Atkinson's Bar had Ruddles on draught and you could get a very nice game pie. The bar was like an Edwardian library and they also sold very nice game pie. I remember the guy with the beard and the spanish lady from the main lounge was called Aurora. I was a regular rom 1981 to 1985.

Pope's corner (New Street, Lower Temple Street?). Any photographs? I vaguely remember a large neon pen sign.

Many years ago (when the place was a proper pub!) I remember seeing high up on the wall in one of the bars a brass plate commerating the exact spot where the tallest man in Birmingham had reached. The event took place in the 19th century. Anyone know what happened to the plate?
