Digbeth Town Hall

In the 1970's as a young Salvationist I remember attending a youth-rally here. It was near the coach station. I now work in Digbeth but can't place where this should be.
 
I used to go there in the 1960's, to the Jug O'Punch folk club, organised by Ian and Lorna Campbell, and Harvey Andrews. As I recall, there was a bar, but they sold only cider on draught, plus bottled beers.

According to a post (#25) in the Barford Street thread there was a SA place in this street at No 234. Close enough to Digbeth I guess.
 
Sadly Ian has died but, as far as I know, Lorna still does live in Kings Heath. I remember Ian Dunkley (used to have guitar lessons off him) who was a member of the group. Does anyone remember seeing Paul Simon, apparently he played there when he was in England in the 1960's. I remember seeing Tom Rush who sang the Circle Game. The club moved to Carrs Lane and then out of town just before they closed. Ian used to live in Ireland.
