Davenport's Pubs

The Prodigal Brummie
Can anyone provide me with a list of Davenport's pubs? Two in particular have been driving me mad.

1. What was the name of the Davenport's pub close to St Andrews (I have a feeling it was near Garrison Lane).

2. Was there a Davenport's pub near the bus routes 14, 93, 94 or 55 within a radius of two miles of Birmingham city centre? Sorry I cannot be more precise.

I actually had a drink in both these pubs but I can't remember their names, I suppose my brain is pining for Davenports Continental Lager (which has never been surpassed in my opinion!).
 
I think the answer to your first question has to be The Hen & Chickens Lower Dartmouth Street from outside if you look up the hill you can see St Andrews. It was renamed the Beau Brummie Tavern for a while, but I see it's now named Bainsy's Bar.
