The Floodgate Tavern. Sorry no date. 1930s/40s perhaps ? Viv.



Seems much changed in the Floodgate Street side, loss of a doorway and/or window etc. Maybe this was the result of Wild's building next door in the 1930s. See modern Streetview below.

I had a drink in there Saturday evening. It's now called 'The Ruin' It's got a hypster pub vibe but it was fine. Will definitely go back, some good original historic features still remain too. The way the Digbeth are is being revitalised is remarkable, I love it.
