Just in case the site of the Christadelphian Hall is of interest, https://www.midlandspubs.co.uk/birmingham/suffolk-street/plough.htm has some info on the Plough that once stood on the corner.

No.97 was the Freeholders' Tavern

Proving that trade directories are a little out of date, this newspaper article shows that John Thomas had left Howe Street and was running the Coach and Horses by this publication date [Aris's Birmingham Gazette - Saturday 26 August 1865]
