Brummie Born and Bred
When we were kids, we used to go to The Live and Let Live, but I think it must have been a different one. This one was at Sinton Green, not too far away from Worcester. At that time, about 50 years ago now, it was run by a 'brummie' and the friends he left behind used to arrange coach trips to spend a day there. Also Dad and Mom used to take us on the Midland Red bus to Hallow and we would walk there. Haven't got the energy to walk that far anymore!! It brings back so many memories even if it isn't the same pub!!

I have no idea about the names. We went to this pub on Sunday for lunch. My brother and sister in law used to visit this pub in the early 60's when they went camping in Neen Solars. It was a memory lane visit.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
We go almost every week to the Live and Let Live at Cutnall Green. The New Inn has now closed and is boarded up and The Chequers is a very upmarket 'gastro pub' (the chef cooks for the England Rugby Team). There was also a pub of the same name in Wolverley, that closed a couple of years ago and is now a private residence.
The Live and Let Live at Neen Solars is a beautiful pub, but opening hours are now restricted (I think) to weekends, very few people live in Neen Sollars! (It's near Mamble and on the way to Tenbury Wells). You might want to try The Sun and Slipper in Mamble, Wendy, next time, another nice pub for Sunday lunch. The Neen Sollars 'Live and Let Live' had a large oak chest in the hallway that was as intricately carved as the bar. A lovely interior!

Well Astonian you got me thinking, so I put Live and Let Live, Neen Sollars into my search engine. The name came up fot the cottage next door to the pub which can be rented for holidays. The pub is mentioned but only as the local pub so why would you call a cottage the same name as the pub.............very strange or is it owned by the people who own the pub. It is owned privatly and not by a brewery.

Hi Cynthia, sorry I must have written my last post as you did. I am glad you have cleared that one up I thought I was going mad!........don't comment! Yes the pub was lovely if you like old pubs the food was good to. We ate in "the cocktail bar"........brilliant! there were lots of wooden carvings around we were told they came from an old mansion that was demolished many moons ago. Thanks for the tips on the other pubs we will give them a try.

Phil that would be great there were so many old fittings in various rooms in this pub which have been there since the 60's. The reason I know this is my brother and his wife used to go camping nearby in the 60's and this was the pub they used. It's so sad when records are not kept. The Woodman was an amazing pub I wonder what happened to the sculpture of the Woodman from the front of the pub.

Great photo's Phil thank you for posting them. As you say hard to match anything but very interesting all the same. I expect the fixtures and fittings from the Woodman went all over the place but it would be nice to locate something from such a grand public house.

thinking back I remember those great midland pubs with there ornate victorian interiors and never paid much notice when young but really admire today, those that are left so many destroyed in the birmingham area.

Wendy, I don't remember reading this post before, but the mention of Neen Sollars brought back some happy memories for me, in 1946 or 1947 our family spent a holiday on Woolleys Farm in Neen Sollars, there were still Italian p.o.w's working on the farm, and the two daughters of the farmer, Ruby and Pearl taught me how to ride a two wheeled bike, after a few attempts and going into a bed of nettles. I am sure mom & dad would have had a drink in the Live and Let Live.

I am glad it bought back some happy memories Sylvia. Thanks for sharing them with us. I wonder if it was the same farm my brother, sister in law and their friends camped at.
Not too sure if this is the best place to post this ....... but one of the Woodman tiled paintings ended here: https://www.bmagic.org.uk/objects/1988F1542
Bought in 1986 by BMAG. Well at least we can account for one of the paintings and it's survived in tact.
Maybe we could have a new thread for any info in tracking down these lost pub fittings. Viv.

I think a new thread to try and locate items from the Woodman Public House would be great. The tiles are lovely thank you for the info Lyn and Phil.
Great stuff Lynn. It's so good to see them in their original context. :thumbsup:
Wendy, I'll start a new thread. Didn't want to start one if you thought it wouldn't serve any purpose but I think it's worth doing as it might jog a few memories.
Phil, I don't want to step on any toes in starting a new thread to try and track down the Woodman fittings. I'll start it off but I think it's best if I leave it to you to decide which of your photos you'd like to post (well that is if you want to of course!). Hope that's OK. Viv.

Gone, but not forgotten.
Hi Viv
You won't be treading on my toes, as this is Wendy's thread. You will have to post a link to this thread so people can see the carved fittings, as I can't really post them again to another thread. I can however post photos of the tiles because I have images of most of them.

OK Phil. I'm happy to put the links of the carverpd fittings on to the Woodman thread. Yes I think it would be a good idea to have your photos of the tiles on the thread if they're readily accessible from your files. Many thanks. Viv.
