Jekyll & Hyde Pub

[sylviasayers]

Does anyone know where the Jekyll & Hyde pub is? Last night on local TV the interior was shown in connection with an experiment associated with Science Week at Aston University, and it was said to be in Aston, I think it must be another pub which has been renamed as it had a traditional interior but we can't think where it might be.

It's at 28 Steelhouse Lane (as mentioned above).

Was rebuilt in the 1960s, replacing a much more impressive Victorian building.

Was The Queen's Head, and was a Mitchells & Butlers pub.

This was in the 2010 calendar called Old Birmingham Inns and Pubs. (for December 2010)

Quite a change from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Here it is in its original form. The Queen's Head. Demolished 1884 in the great Corporation Street redevelopment.
