Here is a photograph of Cannon St from 1976. The Windsor is just about seen on the right, The Parisian is just outside of view around where the street turns left. It's interesing to compare the 'then' and 'now' photographs.

Anyone got any photographs of the Golden Eagle pub? I've been searching for ages with no luck.

I can remember one tuesday night when they introduced a girl on the stage as Michael Jackson's girlfriend. The poor thing nearly got lynched.

The Fillibuster was the pub that was on the corner opposite the Snow Hill car park (The Royal Angus Hotel was just around the corner from it). It changed its name to The West End Bar and was closed down by the police in December 2000. On the same side, if you walked up towards Lloyd House, there...

I passed The Bull's Head every day on my work in Birmingham and I always said I'd go in for a pint, it was a traditional Victorian corner terrace pub. The pub has been closed for over twelve months because I assumed, for refurbishment. The Birmingham Mail has recently reported that it will...

This is a long shot but does anyone have any photographs of the Newman Tonks works around Bridge Street and Hospital Street from the 70's or 80's? I drove by and stopped there the other day and it brought back some happy memories of the time I worked there in the Repair Shop with Bill Jinks...
