The club building is still there at 464 Moseley Road but it's no longer the Brunswick Club. According to our late Phil the club closed in the 1990s. He had been club treasurer.

Brunswick Club, 464 Moseley Road

Hi Barry,
these pictures bring back childhood memories for me born in 1949 , on picture 33 with spotted tie is my uncle Dave Bennett who was a long time member and lived in Clifton Road, behind him is Les Jeavons who lived in Wenman Street father of Alan who was a friend of mine. Dave and his wife Lil had no children so I was regularly renamed Bennett so that I could go to Christmas parties etc. On photo 11 is Tom King and his wife Francis on picture 14, they lived in my street , Gosford Street and had 2 sons Michael and Peter, Tom was also a cub/scout leader in Lime Grove.
I don't know the full details but Les Jeavons and Don Marlow ( who I did not know) were involved in a serious road accident on Moseley Road outside the club and were both badly injured.
In the late 60's I worked as a part time pump attendant at St.Pauls garage almost next door owned by Don Clayton who I think was also a member. Look forward to some more pictures. BobJ
Hello Bob....thanks for the reply
les Jeavons rings a bell but that's all Don Marlow was on committee when I joined....1973 ish to 1980 remember the accident from what I recall they were pushing a broken down car when they were hit from behind on the Moseley Rd...tragic! Sadly Don't remember the Bennets,sorry. Although we only lived in Homer St across the Road...........
I remember well the Christmas party's with present in the snooker room ( tables removed for Christmas and New year party) not to forget Bonfire and fireworks. ............
Tom & Fran King were very good friends of our family...we still meet up with Pete King and his good lady Chris..did Part time work in grocers SIZES then H E Haynes butchers Ladypool Rd till 72 then pursued a different career. She's on the Moseley Rd...Dunkhams sweets, newsagents Kents, Pritchard? Chemist, Swimmng baths and library.
Hope you are still awake

proper brummie kid
I used to attend there when my fishing club Starlets Juniors had meetings there and later when my friend had it as a strip club called Sensations
I vaguely remember my mum getting me to sign up to the Brunswick in the 80s or 90s so she could go. They didn't allow women as members so she couldn't be a member but, if I was, she could use the place. I don't remember if she was ever in there. she died soon after. Then again I could have got this confused with the Tindal club next door. The Brunswick has been a lot of things since - I think it's a restaurant or take-away now - but the strip club was the place the other side of the garage.
