Hi

Have you heard news of comprehensive redevelopment proposals for Upper Trinity Street and Bowyer street with due recognition of the whole area - £260m redevelopment project.

These history panels have been re-framed as they were once in one large frame with separate apertures. How do I know? I produced this for the licensee. When taking photographs of Birmingham pubs in the early years of the new millennium most publicans were not fussed about the history of the pub they were running. However, some were enthusiastic and wanted some info on the pub wall. The large frames were expensive so I would charge £120 if memory serves. However, the frame shop charged about £80 for the frame. Then there were other expenses, the print costs for the cards, petrol etc. not to mention a whole load of time devoted to the project. Still, I would happily do this for the pub. It all went swimmingly well until the bloke in charge of the Sir Charles Napier in Gooch Street left me high-and-dry. They commissioned the frame - I used to trust them without asking for a deposit. A month later I turned up with the frame complete and under my arm and he said I was ripping him off! I actually made a substantial loss on them! That put an end to doing frames for pubs. There are very few remaining now. I once saw a frame in a second-hand shop for sale!

Hi
Regarding the History Panels I would very much like to have either the Prints or a framed copy to display.Let me know your costs? Any other old pictures of the Clements Arms inside and outside would be appreciated rather than printing from the website. The refurnishment works in the Clements Arms are nearer completion - hopefully finished by end of August (been slow due to funds) .

I would like to have pictures on the walls that reflect the history of the Clements Arms and other properties and services in the area for Visitors and the younger generations to appreciate.

Thank you

I will do some more work on the pub and put it on the site for you to print or to provide a printer with the info and images to print. This, like all my research is provided free-of-charge. I do not produce hard copies or frames these days. Good luck with the refurb work.

Can anyone tell me if there was a 'The Hay Mill Tailoring Co.' at near 34 Coventry Road, run by an Albert Cox, between 1895 - 1910 ish please? This could have been next door but one to the Clements Arms.

Also does anyone know when the house number changes happened when I believe 490 Coventry Rd, became 34 Coventry Rd and in 1879 the Clements Arms was No. 492 which became 30 Coventry Rd please?

Albert Cox is listed in directories as a tailor at 34 Coventry Road from 1895 till 1908. Not in 1892. In 1910 there is an Albert M A Cox , tailor at 66 Digbeth, and a Hay Mill Tailoring at 93 Coventry Road. In 1912 and 1913 Hay Mill Tailoring is listed at 34 Coventry Road. !915 no mention of albert cox tailor or Hay Mills Tailoring. (though coincidentally no 34 is Thomas Tailor, newsagent)

Thank you mikejee, excellent information. Here is a photo of 32-34 Coventry Road during 1895-1908, as you can see from the advertising/ghost writing a relation of mine a John Dyche, was a Teacher of the Violin, at the premises on the left, 32 Coventry Road, it became Ernest Dyche Photographer in around 1910. It was just down the road from the Bordesley Palace Theatre. The Clements Arms pub was at 30 Coventry Road.
