Lyn. I remember meeting her at the Bull with 3 relatives/ friends because I gave her a painting of the pub (the Bull) and of course at the Bartons. Eric

Post 64 of this thread suggests 1906 as a date. The tram suggests that as well.The Barton’s Arms in the 1920s. Viv.

The tramcar has a roof ( known as top cover) Vivienne which puts it more just prior to WW1 I believe.This image is probably pre-1900, but it wasn't labelled so can't confirm that. It's from the Birmingham Mail archives. Viv.

Going back a very long time my grandad used to entertain in the Bartons Arms under the name Will Bent, he was a comedian. I wonder does anyone remember this.
I also remember that when my grandparents were living in Newtown there were two other pubs, The Griffin and the Paddocks.
No, 2002 when the pub was closed for trading.Did you mean May 2020 when you were asked your opinion about the viability of keeping the Bartons going?
Thanks for pointing out my typo!!No, 2002 when the pub was closed for trading.
