1. The Victoria - John Bright St (Go on, I'll have a half.)
2. Trocadero (Just to sociable, oh alright, make it a Guinness)
3 Sheems to be The Westward Ho, no hang on, it's not 1976 is it, it's 2010! Is it really? If you insist, make it a large one but don't tell the wife!
4. You're my best friend! What, the last photograph? Haven't a clue old bean! Hic, lies down in Pidgeon Park. Those nice Goths are looking for my address in my wallet.

Congratulations BB. You show a worryingly intimate relationship with the pubs of central Brum! All 3 spot on and until I started taking photos I confess I rarely noticed some of the lovely architecture.

No shame in not getting no.4 as its been closed for many years. It can be seen at the Summerhill (corner of Summer Hill Terrace & Powell St). It shows the Holder's brewery insignia. Holders were taken over by M&B nearly 100 years ago. Other rare examples of Holders brewery can be seen at Craven Arms, Selly Park Tavern and New Inns (erdington)

Hope you've now sobered up after that pub crawl BB!

It was the 'Stores' Mossy. The Tavern was close by, a bit closer to Spring Hill as I recall
