Hi Astonian,

I think the Rose in Henly St is still open, also the I'm not sure about the Adam & Eve in Bradford St it may be.

I've got these photo's of the Adam & Eve, The Rose & The Hen & Chicks. I also found one you asked for some time ago, The College Arms it took a bit of finding.

The Adam & Eve is still open, I was in there a couple of weeks ago.

Very nice place it is too, also very busy in the evenings, they have a lot of entertainment on in there.

Pomgolian, re the pictures above, Is the new Emily Arms (The Hideout) in the same location as the old one? The hill goes down in the old pic, but up in the new one!

I don't think it has built on the original site, it looks like they have moved it across the road. When you used to look down Emily St it was on the left. It is now on the right.

so they did seamus and bridgie still kept good friends with john eventualy seamus and bridgie bought another pub in stour bridge a different clients all together
john brown bought the emily arm off the doyles when they moved out

The Rose Tavern is still going strong and has a very pretty garden attached now. McVeighs is also still going. The Emily Arms (in the site it is now, on the righ looking down Emily St) funnily enough was named Doyles for a short while, after Emily it was called Tom's Place and was at its best, then Doyles, who turned it into a wine bar styled pub, then it became the Hideout, not the best of places, and went downhill fast. It is now used as a Somalian Community Centre. Astoness, your photo of the pub? Is that looking up or down Emily? I'm only 31 and although my family were raised in the area and they chattered a lot, I don't quite know how the streets used to look, pre-80's, I know some have changed, been shut off or disappeared. I'd love to be able to really picture what it was like for my Dad and everyone saw Highgate.
