Some interesting trades I believe are in the photo. The carriage manufacturer is clear but I wonder what is for let on the sign above. Where was the farries after which the pub takes its name? Was it where the carriage maker is? and what of the next property beyond the pub. Good, but unreadable, wall signs on it. Presumably whatever was put in those large 'crates' would be used or made there

I am sure that is a pic of the Red Lion in post 1259. The other pub a few doors along the road was the White Lion which was demolished to make way for shops.

Hi lyn

The Queens Head is/was in Aberdeen Street Winson Green and the Bellfield Inn was in Winson Street Winson Green. I remember back when I was 15/16 I dated the landlords daughter of the Bellfield for a short while in the early 60's.

I know this one was posted a few years ago but I could not find it so it may have been lost.

Viv,

If a photo has no title and you don't know the location, sometimes if you right click on the image and click on properties it will sometimes give the location, in this case it is Holloway Head.
 
The pub in the photo of Holloway head at the far left is the Dog & Duck. I presume from its position that the Spirtit Vaults is the Bowling Green inn

BOARD INN, Phillips Street / High Street

Formerly known as the Board Vaults. Up until the First World War it had an early morning licence, and opened at 6.00am for the thirsty barrow boys. Being near the Fish Market it was affectionately known as the COD’S HEAD. During the 1880’s it was also known as FOX’S , taking its name from a popular licencee of the time.

Just before the end of the First World War, its licensee was one Anthony Diamond, the Amateur Heavyweight Boxing Champion of England, needlees to say that trouble was not much in evidence when he was behind the Bar. Incidentally, he later became the landlord of
