That was The Kingston.

Here's a Pic of the ruin and 2 Google Earth Images of site Now.

Demolished and now a Aldi store sits on the site.

There was also a Record shop on the right before Harvey Road in the early to mid 1970s, if memory serves next to Model shop.

Unfortunately, due to the direction Birmingham has been heading for the last few years, there will be many more fine buildings LOST.

No it's not the same building, first Pic is the guest house still on Mackadown Lane. What I should have made clear is Bowie would probably have played the pub (2nd Pic) not the guest house (1st Pic) as guest house too small.
