Hi Im looking for any information on a pub my great grandfather owned 304 lichfield road aston. His name was Charles Young. The family lived there on the 1901 census, where he was stated as ower/publican. The pub was located opposite side of road to the swan and mitre, ? called the waterworks tavern, or the gate. It was turned into a postoffice in the 60s to 70s. Any info welcome

Hi,

I was looking for a coroners verdict in the old newspapers for 1885, Louisa Tonks (my ancestor). The Inquest was held in the Church Inn, Lichfield Road, Aston. Maybe this is your pub ?
I'm trying to find a photo.

The Church Taveren Was Situated On The Corner Of Sutherland Street
And The Lichfield Rd And It Was About One Hundred Anf Fifty Yards From The King edward Pub ON The Lichfield Rd Along From The Aston Resovoir
It Became Derelict Around The Early SeventiesAnd Stood Empty For At Least TwentyYears There Was Some Talk At OneStage It Was A Listed Pub
But And It Was,nt Going To Be Demolished, But The Planning Dept AndSgt Danno The Licenceing Officier For The City Decided To Close It Down ,
Oweing To The Certain Cliental Misusing , Need I Say Any more On That Discription So It Was Boarded Up And Never To Be A Public House Again ,
And To Recall Your Memory,s Walk To WARDS Aston Station From That Tavern For Possible 200,Yards You Come To The Last cHANCE Cafe ,
The Pub Its Self Was Of A Dark Brown Brick Tiles
Best Wishes ASTONIAN ,;;
