[Phil]

Has anybody got photo's of the Adelaide public house Vauxhall Rd or the Tom Thumb public house Duddeston Manor Rd both in Nechells.

I have been searching for ages now without any success.

hi cat....i love looking at these old pub pics but like you say its so sad that we have very few left of this type...ok i know that some had to go as they were practically falling down but there were a lot that would have been strong for years to come....backbone of the community they were...and it was not just for the men to have a chin wag and put the worlds to right...my g grandmother used the queens head on the corner of farm st and hunters vale....dad said she had her own stool and woe betide anyone who was sitting on it when she walked in...lol....

I couldn't remember using it, because it was long gone before I was old enough to drink, but I had heard of it. the address was 23 & 25 Vauxall Rd it used to stand somewhere between Dartmouth St and the little park that was next to the Co op Dairy.

i think it might have received bomb damage or something. It disappeared from the directories between 1940 and 1943, which makes this possible. In 1956 birchfield upholstery were at no27, so that confirms the position

I am researching pubs in and around the Knowle area. I have found out that the Drum and Monkey was called 'White Lion', in Four Ashes, but I do not know who supplied the beer. Also if anyone has any pictures or information about the Red Lion, The Swan, The Wilsons, The Greswold and the Bulls Head, all in Knowle, I would be grateful. Thanks

Can anyone help with the biographical note at the bottom of the photo of this grand old Beerhouse 'TheRoebuck' on the corner of Darwin and Hollier street? It reads 'formerly a Woodturners house'

All i can say is that it was in the directories back to the 1855 Post Office directory as a pub or earlier as a beerhouse. It's not mentioned in the 1849 whites directory at all, and in the 1852 Slaters it is not listed as licensed premises. Because the 1852 is on ancestry, which you can't do a street search on, you have to look for occupations, I don't know if its listed there as anything else

Thank you very much for this picture. I have been looking for one for ages. My gt aunt Eliza Kirkland and husband Edward ran it in 1911. I think they were there up until 1925 when Edward died. She went on the run the
Globe on Vauxhall Road.
