On the south side, the border was the entry to Court 13, the King's Head being the first building of High Street Bordesley.

By the way, just down from the Rainbow PH, there used to be a sign marking the beginning of Bordesley. The refurbished buildings have survived but the sign has gone .....

Viv, I have already started on that. It is on my High Street Deritend page but here is a map extract showing No.1 ...

Hi Viv I have included a paragraph on my page which tries to sort this issue.... "Many people seem to get a little mixed up or confused with Deritend High Street. Understandable in some respects as the road from the Bull Ring to Camp Hill seems like one long seamless thoroughfare. However, the...

I note that there is another High Street Deritend thread but that seems to feature posts and photographs of Digbeth and Bordesley. I must admit to being slightly irritated by the widespread use of the term Digbeth in the press, books, websites, blogs and the like. The Old Crown, for example is...

That is not the Red Lion

That is the Golden Lion - the Red Lion was across the road.

Happy New Year to all BHF members. I was going to flit from one pub to another on Duddeston Row and make it a chronological thingybob but I was only confusing myself. Consequently, I have so far concentrated on the Thatched House Tavern on the corner of Fox Street. For those interested, and for...

Working in some sort of chronological order, I have uploaded some early information on the Unicorn Inn, another early tavern on Duddeston Row. A new kid on the block, the Woodman Inn, was still some way off ..... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/duddeston-row/thatched-house-tavern.htm

Thanks MWS, I have done what I can within the text added for the Golden Horse ... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/duddeston-row/golden-horse.htm

Does anybody know for sure where Chapel Yard was? There is an older listing for a Golden Horse at Chapel Yard - could be Saint Bartholomew?? If this is the case it would not be the building of 1797.

Well, I have made a start with the Golden Horse which can be traced back to 1797 so is probably the oldest of the Duddeston Row taverns .... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/duddeston-row/golden-horse.htm

Here is a close-up pic that I doubt if anybody has seen .. until now! I put a few notes to this - just click on the photo. Can a bus enthusiast confirm if that is a Bundy clock next to the horse trough? https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/enlargements/duddeston-row-trough.htm

Setting the scene for a piece on Duddeston Row, I have started with the church demolished after WW2. Click on the photograph for more info ... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/enlargements/duddeston-row-saint-bartholomews-church.htm

Here is one for bus spotters - No.37 Bus Stop in Albert Street for Hall Green .... https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/enlargements/albert-street-perrins-warehouse.htm

Could I suggest a re-wording of the thread, or simply shortening to Albert Street? It is true that the properties in Duddeston Row were added to Albert Street in later years but Albert Street and Duddeston Row were separate thoroughfares for much of their existence. A shame that many fine...

I am thinking about doing a bit of Duddeston Row. It is, however, one of the streets for which I have very few images. Anyway to clear up a few things I have seen on the thread here is a map I have prepared for my page. It is based on a 1945 map though I should stress that by this point the only...

The gas-fitter Leonard James Thomas was at No.1 Pelham Road in Kelly's 1921 trade directory. The 1925 electoral roll shows Clara Richmond at No.20 Belcher's Lane. She later moved the short distance to 765 Alum Rock Road.
