These might do until Postie gets his mojo working, you know it might be best if you just published a list of the pubs that you want. Then we could see what we could come up with between us all.

Re Salutation Alma Street Aston, We lived opposite the pub and I had a part-time job as barman.
happy memories of darts and domino nights played upstairs over the bar.
Thanks for jogging my memory. Sid Walker.

Nice pic. Excuse my ignorance and rotten memory, but what is/was the street behind the pub, where the bus is?

Hi Big Gee

I believe it is High St and Alma St at six ways Junction and goes back to abt 1860.
