Hi, does anyone remember the Eagle and Tun pub in New canal St?

 

[John L]

We often popped in there for a game of pool, UB40 were often there and wouldn't say no to a game themselves. 1 As it appeared on a UB40 album, 2 Ed Sheeran in there, 3 How it was before HS2 did for it.

I worked at a place called Multibrasive back of the Irish centre, always in there after early finish on Fridays, then bus back to King's heath, shower, change back to meet mate's at the Tun.
I loved the atmosphere of the place, never felt it in any other pub. Skins, rastas, punks, old fellas, it truly was an open arms.

hi stuart many years ago the HS2 bosses told me that the eagle and tun would be retained and not demolished but as with many other promises they made they did not keep it...very sad to lose another icon of a brummie pub

It was a beautiful building, the inside with the minton grapevine tiling.

The landlord, think his name was Des, would shut the pub, give us the wink and open the side door for us. Only four of us in the building playing pool.
'Im going up lads, bottles only, don't touch the top shelf, leave the money on the bar and leave quietly'..
Never broke that trust.

I Think the Sheeran Pic was actually at The Roost, Small Heath.

I stand corrected, he was at The Eagle & Tun too (Birmingham Live link below).

I've often wondered when all these lovely old pubs are being demolished, or even renovated , if any of the interior features are saved....

 

[stuart67]

A little off subject, I was a floor layer for quite a few years and often had to take up, on customers direction, beautiful old entrance hallway tiles to replace with laminate or carpet. We were able to sell it on as we took it up with care, sadly sometimes we would turn up to see a skip full of broken useless tiles...

There seems to be a significant market in architectural salvage and quite a number of traders who make money from it.
