Small Heath Tavern The Wrexham

[Michael_Ingram]

Where's this then? The front of the tram reads "Smallheath Park to Station Street", so its betweeh Smallheath and New Street Station. We are looking at the tram from the back so it is going down a slight hill. Could it be Coventry Road?

The location of the tram heading into the city centre along the Small Heath (Victoria) Park to Station Street route is the bend of the Coventry Road opposite to what was then called "Small Heath Tavern" the pub was later renamed as "The Wrexham". Len.

A group of locals gathered outside the Wrexham in the 1950s ready for an outing.
