Pubs Of The Past

[I Am Nico]

The one appearing and disappearing in Coventry I am told was an ancient ale house, in it's day, (my dad would have known,) then it must have been a retail outlet for years, someone discovers that it was originally a pub, and it becomes a pub again, and know it's not, again. Bizarre. When is a pub not a pub?

Here's one that I have no knowledge of and can't claim to have ever used. Anybody remember it, I have no doubt that it is well gone now. Scotch house on the corner of Aston High Street and Whitehead Rd.

I think Arthur and Doreen Burley ran this pub.

There is a Vine in the thread (#470) but this one is the Vine Inn, sorry I don't know which street it was in.

Is this Carver Street?

The oldest pub in Birmingham is The Green Man or Lad in the Lane....same pub in Erdington Tom

Parts of the building go back to pre 1400

To left of the Waterloo and underneath Christ Church was Old Moore's Oyster Room. When it was demolished oysters were growing on the walls.

I wonder if they checked if there were any pearls inside!

They might have, but they certainly would have eaten them.

I don't know whether this is the right place for this post, just to say one of the messages I got today from Birmingham LIve . The general manager of The Woodman in Digbeth says "we're still here" this is almost a cry for help as I understand it due to the modifications in and around Brum due to HS2 . Certainly sad when businesses have to suffer .

I walked past the Woodman one night last week. All the lights on but did not see many people inside.

The view of the Bell in Oldbury gardens shows two out houses similar to the ones at the Four Oaks in Sutton Coldfield that I mentioned in an earlier post connected with Navigation on Tyburn Road.

The Brittania opposite Aston Station is still a good looking building, despite needing some TLC. I love the statue of Brittania on the front, glad it's still there to see.

Some very useful maps and plans of the pubs. Thanks Oldun. Makes you realise how many pubs were in such a small area! I think they could make a useful thread of their own. Shall move them to a separate thread. Viv.

For those interested the pub maps and plans now have a new home here https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php?threads/pubs-maps-and-plans.54256/

Oh dear, I have spotted many errors in the captions. On a technical note, I think the forum may receive complaints when publishing entire books which may still be in copyright.
