Hi My grandparents ran The Plough & Harrow in Selly Oak. I think it would have been around 1956 maybe 1957 as I lived there with them for a time. Sadly I have been looking for photo's of the pub but unable to find any.

Eric Benton was at the Wellington on Bristol Street between 18[SUP]th[/SUP] September 1958 and 21[SUP]st[/SUP] January 1960. It was on the latter date that he was granted the licence for the Plough and Harrow. However, his stay was short and he was succeeded in May of the same year. Are you sure about Ryder Street?
