gone but not forgotten
HI GUYS ;
Does anybody recall the old Bishop and the Actress in digbeth as it does have history ;
i seen my old mate phil the barber yester day and he always keep me in touch with old friends i do know there is one or two of yo guys use phil as we spoke about the forum and he tells me of one of our members comes quite regular but never or less he spoke
Of The bishop and he told me of one of our old time friends whom we both know in the game from various pubs
Whom i know for being in the game andworking for the brewers for years as a good hard working Gaffer of many pubs
for any body whom may recall him its Graig he fought for the stopage of the cross guns pub washwood heath to be sold and turned into
A pub; i never knew the out come on that situation did he win and did the cross guns survived ; i do not know ?.
but also he ran the brook hill pub oppersite old southalls pub the castle on moseley rd
but any way he told me he now runs the The bishop and the Actress in digbeth for another well known family whom run the pubs
around brum; so i thought does anybody have any memors of this pub or do they recall it ; even any old characters that used to frequent
that pub as i know there wasin those days of pub characters which sadly have all passed away over the years
