Richard McNeill. Thanks. That's great. Narrows the earliest limit of the date range to 1876.
Post #65 has a tram advert stating the Lozells line will open 1st October 1885 and trams will run every fifteen minutes. This new line is shown on an 1888 ordinance survey map with double tramways at Villa Cross. On the photo there is only a single tramway. Edward W Bradbury landlord of VCI at the date 30/10/82
Date range narrowed. 1876 to 1885
Should also mention here that in some earlier posts I referred to the cab stand on the right of the inn when I should have said cabman's rest (cabbies rest) which is the 'summer house' style building.
Some long shots worth a mention. In the photo the pavement on the left side of Heathfield Road not paved with wood or stone; when was it paved with wood or stone? The Inn has a clock; when did it disappear?
