thanks Lyn, that would help. I'm sure it was on the right hand corner of aston road and love lane after you've walked past the sack of potatoes towards the aston expressway

Is the Firebird the place that was edgebaston conservative club and then became a pub. Was looking for it on google maps and see that its not Balsall Heath road between Bristol & Pershore road now, they've named it after a medical centre -Bellevue.Mike. it's a long shot I know but does this picture help you to locate it better?

Kellys only mentions the British Oak at no 99 Digbeth in 1900 1903 & 1904. However the 1901 census lists The Vintage Tavern at no 99 .The occupants listed by Kelly for the British Oak for 1900, 1903 & 1904 are Charles Shay, William Bloomfield and John Wattis. These do not seem to be regular landlords . Alfred Charles Raybould, however is listed in Kellys as a beer retailer at 12 Thomas st in 1900, 6 Arter St in 1903 and 22 Arter St in 1904 No 22 Arter st was The Flower Pot pub, and 12 Thomas St was the Globe Inn
Maybe Raybould was having a joke with the census returners or maybe the name was changed briefly, but then returned to the original

Thanks Mikejee for the information, now to find photos of The Globe Inn, Thomas Street, which I presume is Aston,
and the Flower Pot pub, Arter Street, Balsall Heath, (nice name for a pub).

Re 729 Lyn and 738 mossg re General Wolfe
Thanks for the photos, much appreciated. I am surprised it was allowed to be demolished, I thought it would have been a listed building.

Phil, thanks for the photos, The Globe may be the wrong one, but my grandad was living there as a 14 year old on the 1891 census, and The Flower Pot Inn I will keep these for my family history.

The Queens Head, Steelhouse Lane. Used to drop in there for a sandwich and a drink on my way down to Gosta Green for night school in the 1960s

Astonian,
When I served on the squad from the Newton Street office we used that pub as a daily meeting hole. I knew it as 'Gilhooley's' Sp? Think it was named, by us, after a previous licensee. Will.

hi will;
i think if i am correct that was beforethe queens head if i am correct ; yes ;?
i am trying to think of the guys name whom took it over as the queens head he came from the pub down facing the old eye hospital
if its correct or is the eye hospital the same street as the grand hotel on colmore row at that time
was it the old contemable they called it i recall our are manager moved us around and that guy fromthere took it on when it changed the name ;
i can vizulized the young guy now but i just cannot put a name to the face at the moment ;
so you never got your old bike back then from the dudley rd nick ;i heard the other day the new block for c division ;
dudley rd banged up ; and built another new one bigger than the old little one around the park ; but they told me its ghostly and very rare you see a
copper there ;and any trouble in the area just not get any responce one of my old friends on dudley rd whom is bussines still runs is bussines
next to the barford rd old gardners club as it is now but not in your days it was called different
but any drunks or trouble from there when ringing the office no responce ;
not like the old days i say will ; at least the division was out like a shot ;do you recall a det ; carrigan ; he was a big bloke just like ernie whom used to wade in ; and of course gentle man lou brown and inspecter blakley do you recall inspector bauber at keyon street
many years ago with the constables on the point duty as they was then ; and when he used to be driven around and coming from the city at aston cross in those days one day a young constable on traffic duty at the centre of the cross ; seen his car coming down the aston rd north from steele house lane
the young copper stopped the traffic and wave him through but unknown to him the force sold that car months ago and my oldest brother it
and of course the enevetable happends the young copper had stoped the trafficfrom crossing the junction and called my brother through
he laughed about it for many a weks at the old MEB where he worked in chester st ;
still ; any way i will try and think of these two guys whomwe are speaking abpout ; have a nice day ;
best wishes astonian ;;;;;
