    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Thank you for the extra information, Viv. Its much appreciated. I am not convinced that that photo by Keith Berry is of the Brewmaster's House, but I'll take a closer look tomorrow. Yes, Wendy, I had been thrown by the new buildings distorting the layout of the area so Phil's pictures help a lot.

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Its a delight to see the Brewmaster's House in context, Phil. I had not thought to look amongst St Peters Place pictures so thats a good contribution. Thank you.

    Is the Angel Stratford Rd still standing?

    Thank you, Robert & Ell. It will be interesting to find out how it will be developed. I do hope the distinctiveness of the property can be retained - its quite unlike any other Georgian pub we have in Birmingham.

    Is the Angel Stratford Rd still standing?

    Does the Angel Stratford Rd junction Ladypool Rd still stand? If so is it the entire building or just the facade or is there scaffolding around it?

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Yes, Ell, I automatically glossed over the St Peters Place listing because buildings etc there were demolished. I do often have difficulty in tracing canalside listings because of the uncertainty of the road name allocated.

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Its great to see an old picture with the Brewmasters in situ, Mike. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for finding the listing, Ell. Brewmasters certainly has a variety of addresses. Odd that the dates differ, Viv, but it often happens. In this situation I always trust Andy Foster as default, but...

    Thank you for claryifying that, Mike. Information about this is lean on the web.

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Thank you for looking for the listing, Viv. There are strange errors & ommissions on the British Listed Buildings site, so perhaps this is another. Its such a shame. I for one would like to know more. Dave thank you for the photo of the Brewmaster's House. That really ads to the angles by Ell...

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Thank you, Ell. This is the first time that I have seen pictures of the Brewmasters House in the round. Oddly, I cannot find the listing. Does anybody else have the link to the Brewmasters House listing?

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Thank you very much, Colin & Shortie for identifying the location. Its always awkward when the road does not reach a particular property but there is no substitute for local knowledge. Lyn do you know the area well enough to find the Brewmaster House on foot? That part of the city centre is new...

    Brewmaster House off Broad St

    Where is the Brewmaster House? Birmingham Conservation Trust describe it as being off Broad St, but I cannot locate it on Google Maps. Can anyone help, please? https://birminghamconservationtrust.org/bct-finished/brewmasters-house-off-broad-street/

    Camden Street, Brookfields Birmingham

    Yes, I agree, Viv. I too have a family member who lived in Camden St in the 1800s & its such a joy to see even a snippett of the character of the place. Fortunately 89-91 Camden St is specifically included on the Jewellery District conservation area map, so has higher protection than a mere...

    Camden Street, Brookfields Birmingham

    89 - 91 Camden St are indeed striking with their distinctive steps & central doorway for rear access, aren't they Viv? They were built before 1825 as townhouses & later altered for use as workshops. The ratings books & map will probably hold more information, but I do not have access to those...
