Great old Brummie local - darts and occasional jazz in the 1960's and 1970's. Run by Jim and Mary Twigg when I drank there.

And all the TOA drivers, of which Jim became one, and me drinking bottles of export at 16 years old, and Les Lee, Clive Adams, Brian Curley and Chicken Shack on the juke box......Happy Days.
 
That's right, Jim and Mary had a full-size poodle which they claimed was trained to kill...!

Hi
Jim & Mary were a great couple, we used the pub regularly while I was working at Linreads, after finishing work at Noon on Saturdays we used to go before going off to play for Linreads Football team in the Works league.
When I left to go to GKN we had our leaving party upstairs with sandwiches courtesy of Mary.
A great pub & a great couple, does anyone know where they are now?
Cheers

Hi
Mom used to do outwork for Collins in the jewellery Quarter putting links and rings on chain. My dad made some hand
held blocks of wood with a wood screw in it. Using a small pair of pliers you took a ring and twisted it in the screw, put the
chain on the link and put it back in the screw and twist it back. Plus you had to cut the chain to length. And all for something like 6shilling and 5p a gross.

I used to drink there in the late 70's and early 80's when I worked at Linreads before we moved from Cox Street.
