many thanks for any help

Sorry Lyn

I cant find you a photo of The Carpenters Arms which was at number 63 St Georges Rd on the corner of Hospital St. I think it may have been bombed out during the war as it was certainly there before the war but seems to gone missing by the end of it or around that time. This is a photo of the Birmingham Arms that was at the other end of the street at the junction of Hampton Street.
