Pubs Of The Past

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 remember this well, I used to walk past here with my Granddad, he was a bookies runner and used to take the clocks to Joey and Jim Smith the bookmakers who lived just up Monument Road.

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.

Hello mkejee, I contacted an old friend who spends a lot of time in the Library, not my scene I might add. I then took my angel shopping and on my return an E.mail awaited mewith his version of said picture. He tells me that the building was in existance from the 18th cetury and became a pub sometime in the 1940s the first landlord was a George Jones. He also verifies that Lichfield St did indeed become Corperation St. As previously stated Mike I could not argue about what is fact or fiction.

does any know of the SHAKESPEARE Garbett Street, Ladywood was my Grans Pub years ago ?
