This is my house Stratford Road from the age of 7-21, right opposite the Mermaid pub. Taken in 1964
Saw the pub a month ago what a mess and such a shame many happy hours were spent in there with friends.
My house to has changed, it is nothing like this picture the steps up are gone along with the front bay. It is now an estate agents with bright blue roller shutter doors on the front and one heck of a lot more traffic.
Happy days !!![]()
The Mermaid must have been one of the hardest pubs in Brum. I only went there the once, en route to a party somewhere, and when we walked into the bar, if looks could've killed, we'd have been dead on the spot. We left.
