hi mike ;
there was no never no pub in varna rd it was all big house with big bay windows with all the pros doing there bussinesses in the windows
if you ever seen that road day and night you would have thought there was a foot ball match going on it was like church lasne aston on a villa match hundreds of cars parked both sides of the rd and you could not see the pavements for men pranting up and down the road both side
and standing peering at all these women some exposing them selves and when the police turned up this rd it was very funny to watch as cars was scrambling to get out of the street the next street was alexander street which was not so bad for the red lights
there was only afew
