I clicked on "buy print" but got a warning from my Malware software saying they had blocked a Trojan. Careful folks!

2nd place with that time suggests that the competition was sluggish!

I would concur with this, except I would not be so diplomatic!

I have uploaded a bit on the Waggon with some v.nice pics courtesy of David Law. See : https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/warwick-road/waggon-and-horses.htm

Eric, searching is free and, if you do not wish to subscribe [around £72 per year] you can just buy a month's worth and cram in a block of research.

Cradley Heath ... now you're talking. As a Heathen, this will float my boat! Thanks for the update Mike. I subscribe to the site but forget to look what is new.

The timing is not quite right - I know I can do 10 miles in 25ish minutes which is about club standard. Although bikes are nippier these days he would still be doing 5 miles quicker than 16.18. I have seen Victorian times of over 22mph on rough roads.

Interesting. I have not looked into this tavern. In Post #4 it is said to be a Holt pub but the photograph shows Atkinson's etched glass. Also it does not appear to be a corner pub [as indicated by Mike] with its central entrance. I cannot read the licensee plate but I would doubt if this is the...

A most enjoyable read and an excellent journey/quest. There were many highlights but perhaps your most fortuitous was the 'final' visit to the Inn at Mona. Tremendous stuff.

Reduced hours, librarians, catalogue fails etc. means that I cannot see me EVER using the Wolfson Centre. I have a website that devotes a lot of space to the history of Birmingham and if somebody like me cannot face the tedious and frustrating process now in place then it highlights what a...

Doh, the price of being a chump! However, I just tried that and it threw up another GHStreet thread : https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/great-hampton-street.25507/

Frankenstein, along with his creator Mary Shelley, were veggies. Maybe influenced some in the 19th century. Mind you, it is said that Pythagoras was a veggie. Indeed, at one time those who eschewed meat were known as Pythagoreans.

Yes Lyn, I think the bank, like many other buildings in the street, is being renovated.

Weird, I typed "Great Hampton Street" in the search box and went through several pages without seeing a thread with the street in the title.

I have looked in vain for a dedicated thread to Great Hampton Street but cannot see one. I see bits and bobs dotted around the forum but this is a street that deserves its own thread. Well, in my humble opinion it does. Anyway, if this old turnpike road floats your boat I have published some...

Being as one can obtain a 250 year lease for an apartment in The Gothic for only £409,000 plus annual service fee, I am considering moving to a location where it is still a bit edgy, oh sorry, I am supposed to say trendy.

I cycled over to the former Gothic Inn yesterday and have 'improved' my page at https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/great-hampton-street/gothic-inn.htm with some more pics.

Nothing new there .... a lot of blokes watching a few men do all the work!

I have uploaded a bit of history of this brewery at : https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/breweries/birmingham/davenports-brewery.htm
