No sign of the old gun platform,and about 10 years ago when I used to commmute weekly to Spain via Pais on the train I often used to use the MacDonald's outside the Gara De Nord Station,and yes it was packed,even for breakfast.

Bordesley St Digbeth. Unusual to see houses left in the Digbeth area.These are three story terrace houses,and are viewable from their rear areas from Moor Street Station If I remember most of these houses would have been demolished after the war during reconstruction. There seems to be...

The York - Hall Green Actually worked here back in 87/88. Was a popular pub,not been in it since about '98,and in that time though still popular had gone down a bit.

Eagle and Tun - Digbeth Closed as of this week,don't have any other details.

Royal George - Summer Lane Mentioned before,this seems to be closed. Used it late 80s,famous afters joint,run by an Irishman,but a popular pub,sad to see it go.

Lol lol and thrice lol:D My road,Cliftonville Avenue is actually opposite Goodwin Road.Seperated by Northdown rd,the Bellvue pub is on the corner of Goodwin. Was at Broadstairs beach today with a french student we accomodate/teach,followed by a quick visit to Ramsgate,where poor 16 yo...

You mean this Royal George? Have you got the area/road name please,need it to post it properly.

I actually live in Cliftonville.....even odder:D Most of the hotels are long gone,or more like homeless hostels.Shame,this was once a great tourist area.

Fox and Grapes - Digbeth Think this has been bought up as part of a develpoment plan. It was a pub close to town,and famous for its afters. Not sure how long it's been closed,but an old boy who I got chatting to the other day as I took the pic said he'd heard it may be opened again as an old...

Big Gee,some interesting anecdotes there. You're right about rough not being a new thing,in fact pubs are probally much less violent these days. I read something about the architecture on here,possibly on another pub thread.

Well said,I took these pics a few days ago,not seen a lot of these places for years.Many have gone,but a good few are still fighting on. If you've got any ideas about these,please feel free to add comments.Feedback makes it worth hanging out of car windows on wet evenings lol.

Hen and Chickens - Constitution Hil Went past this the other lunch time.Empty,and seems to be run by Asians or similar. This pub had been going downhill for a long time.Not sure what it does at busier times,but it's a great building,and is situated in a prime position for the local private...

The Gothic - Constitution Hill Seems to be closed now,I worked locally,as did my family,this place was well known years ago. A classic building,but the pink certainly does it no favours.

Stags Head Pub - Summer Lane Not been here for years,but was passing and pleased to see it's still alive and kicking.

The Bull - Gun Quarter Not sure if this has already had a thread,the search gave so many answers I gave up. I used this place about 20 years ago when living near it.Like many pubs in that area it struggled back then.I did hear however it's re-invented itself now,no doubt helped by the...

The White House - Hockley Still going,but far from full on a rainy Wednesday evening.

The Church Inn - Hockley I was in the Lord Clifden yesterday,so took a quick pic of this pub.Didn't go in it,as time didn't allow.Be interesting to see if it has benefited from being close to the Clifden,and also all the posh flats in the area.

The Black Horse Inn - Sparkbrook, Noticed this has closed.I used it a few times about 10 years previously.

The Barrel - Summer Lane Remember this from the early 80s,but only used it a few times.Went past the other day,so took some pics. Anybody got any memories to share?

The Antelope,Stratford Road Sparkhill.This has been mentioned before on other threads. I remember using it occasionally about 25 years ago.It was a lively pub then,with a lot of local Irish punters.Now sadly it appears to be a curry house.Doubt if even that will last judging by the number of...
