Ragga,
You will be able to see for yourself in a couple of weeks The Lamplighter is only a short walk from The Stag.See you at the meet up mate.:):):)
 
hi lloyed
many thanks for giving us the picture of the redelvoped lamplighter
i can recal it being abit of a shack made of wood
i presume that was done in the eightys rebuilt and extended it looks very smart there
is the old nick still across the rd there ,
that particula place has history in more ways than none in its years of being built
especialy in the very early years it could give some storys
giving the history of the old summer lane way backearly 1900,s
they would rather gone to digbeth or the lane rather go there ,the old lags of yester year and the spivs
rather going into that nick .as you may know or leart summer lane was full of alsorts of people
and it was a tough quarter eqiverlent to the east end of london
once again thanks for the picture , best wishes Astonian ;;
