Birmingham pubs 1891

My Dad used to say the longest stretch of pavement ( one side of the road ) between two pubs was The Angel on Stratford Road, bottom of Ladypool Road and The Saracens Head in Shirley, does anyone know different.

The Shakespear pub and The Temple bar pub stand next to each other in the City Centre does any body know of any other pubs that stand next to each other?[/COLOR

Shame the Temple Bar is not a pub anymore, had some good times in there when Dick Lawn from the Tavern in the town ran it.
I'll have a ponder about you question.:rolleyes:
 
I worked for Daniels & Sons (Brum Markets)and next door was the pub Smithfield Arms (Ansells) and on the other side was the pub Brooke vaults (Atkinsons) and over the top was Dick Eales Ltd ...Bookies so had everything at hand ..left right and center

Thank you for replys.i didnt know The Temple Bar was no more a pub,
Frothblower nice one about the Yardley pubs.

Can somebody tell me the names of the pubs in the market area 50s/60s as sadly a lot of them were demolished before i became of age lol
i think a certain roundhead will enlighten me roundheadsone pub that sticks out in my mind is The Jamaica Inn i think it was in Jamaica row.
The first pub i drank in 1963 not of age was The George And Dragon in the jewelry quarter,it was an old blues player who had it Wilson Jones some one who used to frequent this ale house was an old villa player and great winger Ambrose Mullraney the pub had three doors one in each street another trivia thing,Pope St, Albion St. and i cant remember the other Street,perhaps some one can tell me the other .

My parents and grandparents used to live in Pope Street and Camden Drive. The George and Dragon was their local, my mom used to go in every Friday to get grandad's wages off him before they all went behind the bar!
Alas the pub is no more than a shell now (late winter this year anyway). I went in there one lunchtime about three years ago. A proper old fashioned, grubby little boozer. Wonderful!!!!
I expect that's yet another site for luxury flats in the Jewellery Quarter. Just how many people want to live in these so-called luxury flats? The market must be about saturated now, don't you think?
 
The 'Calthorpe' -across from Westminster on Wellington Rd - and would have to be the 'Old Crown' Perry Barr subsequently changed to the 'New Crown and Cushion' However, I admit that I don't know how old?

We were shopping in town yesterday ( saturday) and we popped in the Shakespeare for a break ( any excuse will do ) It's quite nice and comfortable in there
 
Since the demise of the Angel pub Stratford rd, I would say there isnt a pub on the whole lenght from start to finish within Birmingham on that side of the road.
 
two pubs in sutton

How about the "TREE TUNS & THE ROYAL" IN SUTTON COLDFIELD they are on the same street within 100yards of each other.
When I worked in Rugby it had a pub on most every corner.
