I'm sure I bought my senior school 'starter kit' here. A tin containing a protractor, ruler, set squares and compass for drawing circles. Oxford instruments seems to ring a bell?

Lol - I have given up for today too!

Don't like your kit much lol

Chobblin, that's a blast from the past. I still use this word, when applicable. My Welsh wife had never yeard (Welsh for heard) of it before!

Would that be the Old Engine pub?

I should imagine that list is of the beer abv rather than the price. Surely £4 a pint in 2002 would have been extortion :cool:

Exactly that - I just couldn't locate a 'lane' but should have got it really as that pub is on Soho Road, my area of growing up lol. That said I only knew it as it is now.

Haha your thinking of the world famous Mr Potato Head

OK just wondered whether you guys had solved it lol

Just to clarify as I've seen a couple of related threads, what was the eventual answer to the Barford Street? pub question? Cheers

Firstly, thanks for your time in setting these posers. I can only speak for myself in that I enjoy the challenge and, although I probably have more time on my hands than some, only spend so long at it. I'm sure most others treat it the same, and yes, it is only a bit of fun. You can take away...

I was just going to say that's the bank in front of the Spears factory in the other thread. Funnily enough that was one of the banks I did some work in.

Doh, another best guess would have got me a point lol, I kept coming back to the Prince of Wales but just couldn't see it. Well done to those who got it right.

I used the previous thread about the bus to help me locate the road, then another thread about the road to locate the pub. Those picture clues including Roy Castle, St Luke and the Sun were completely wasted on me lol. They went completely over my head.:D

I have found these https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubpictures/55587/ on the Internet. Mods please delete if not allowed. Guyarab, I'm sure Keiron would appreciate a copy of your pic as he told me he didn't have one. Perhaps you could post it on a relevant thread. Thanks for the help all.

It's been a long time since I was there and have lost my bearings a bit! Would the buses be outside of where Harry Parkes sports shop was?

Well well, how lucky was that! My only idea stemmed from the shape of the window frames and the door position. These were encouraged by the fact it is now an Asian eatery, as I said it was a best guess at most!

That's some aerial lol

It's difficult to see, you need to scroll down quite a way and then there is a list of pubs by street all in one column all in the same text type. https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/

Identifying the location was quite straightforward by comparing maps. I found reference to the Skinners Arms on here, located next door to the Dogs home and confirmed the address as no 16 on pub wiki. It made sense with its locality to the Skin and Hide market. There was no further ref to the...
