    Belgrave Hotel - Moseley Road And Belgrave Road

    Great piece of history. Seems so long ago that I stood outside that pub,usually below the window to the right of the corner door. I wonder if anyone knew my dad and his brother,they were identical twins,Walter and Bernard Dunn. They also had a sister Rene. Nodd,the lemonade lad.

    Monument Road/Plough & Harrow Road
