The Mountaineer was indeed on Ashburton Rd in Kings Heath. I used it in the early 70's for a short while but it was a bit off the beaten track for me. I hear it was closed down recently due to constant trouble at the pub.

hi mossy .
many thanks for that i should have remembered it
i remember billy he came to dublin with us on
a tour of the irish pubs wa back then
plus the fact i lived in sisefield rd wheni first got married
i have got billy on a group photo along with the other
twenty nine other gathers behind the bar
in the guiness factory dublin
if my memory serves me right billy used to run the
college arms up dudley rd spring hill
before he took on the primrose
i also have one of dermot from the college stratford rd
the britt on warick rd
some-body mentioned a pub down the back of dawberry -
field road rd back of brandwood rd but i just cannot think of the name -any ideas
have a great day mossy , best wishes astonian ;;

but i just cannot think of the name of the pub
 
Astonian Billy Milington had the College Arms up Dudley Rd,he had a boxing ring upstairs and i believe Johnny Prescot used you use it.

Every body thought Billy was a boxer,but he never was,he was a lager than character,and a very nice bloke,and his wife,and daughter his daughter lives in South Africa and she is the spit of him

Hi mossy
yes you ae quite right i do know billy from the colledge
and for being with us at the brewery and on the trip to dublin
and i also knew johny prescott when he trained at the trees
at hockley before coming up to billys
