Pub in Vere Street/Hope Street

KJSScott

knowlegable brummie
My Grandparents lived in Vere Street until my grandmother died in 1962. There was a pub just down the street. When I attended Matthew Boulton Colledge(which was built by Hope Street in the sixties) in 1969/1970 we used this pub at lunchbreak. Can anybody please let me know the name of this pub.
 
There was the Baltic Inn, which appears to be on the corner of Hope st and Vere st. further down Hope st there was the Duke of Cambridge

Thanks Mike, I've just put the Baltc Inn on Google and found a link on a site called Highbeam.com. There short article apparently from the Mail in 2006 by a man who lived at No37 Hope Street from 1938-1950. He says there were three pubs in Hope Street, the Baltic Inn as you say, the Woodman which was actually in Hope Street, which I think is the one I used as it rings a bell and the Sun at the corner of Gooch Street and Hope Street.
I know my Grandad enjoyed a drink but looks like he was spoilt for choice.

Hi! Just read this and thought I would say that my grandad Leslie Wareham was born in 1926 at 38 Hope Street, they moved after the bombing of the street during the war. Does anyone remember him or his brother George?
