Lose of Jobs and Community Places Though.

The inside is completely ripped out, can't see it ever going again as a pub?

@@joyfuladventureaudits Really? That’s a shame. I agree, given the area it’s in I can’t see anyone gambling on opening it as a pub now.

Shame it couldn't have been saved? all that history just lost to time.

@@joyfuladventureaudits Sad, isn’t it? Pubs are such important parts of the social fabric of our country (or they were, anyway), we even navigate by them. “Carry on past the Grant, keep going past the Breedon, down past the British Oak then turn left at the Three Horseshoes.” Many of them have been there for well over a hundred years, but Britain is a very different place, now. Perhaps it’s inevitable they slowly disappear.

Yes indeed!

Wow, your family has a rich history in the pub business! It's fascinating to hear about all the different establishments they managed, from the Swan Yardley to the Mermaid Pub and the Gypsies Tent. You've got pub management in your blood! Thanks for sharing these memories - it's a great snapshot of Birmingham's pub scene in the mid-20th century.

@@joyfuladventureaudits My grandmother was born at the Australian Bar in Hurst Street in 1901 she was one of 5 girls who all had a pub in Birmingham and one of the sisters married the manager of the Alexander Theatre and tried to set up a circus in Birmingham that caught fire and he went back to the Alex and when he died his son my cousin became manager. I have a long history with this city.

Yeah its great new 128 years of history has been saved. lets hope the lad in the lane a 600 year old pub. Birmingham oldest pub in Erdington Birmingham can also be saved.

Went over ten years ago maybe more

Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

Did you go to the Karaoke Place ? or just the Wrens Nest Pub ? any memories or stories to tell ?

Nice Pub, bet its quiet now the wholesale markets has gone ?

But is it the oldest pub in Brum ? rumour has its NOT. The Lad in the Lane Pub in Erdington is? but unfortunately that's not abandoned and closed down ?

We the place to be on Friday and Saturday Night. :-)

Yeah its not a nice area ?

Was the Sara Moon many many years ago ? any memories or stories of this place. Thanks for watching and comment. Cheers

Yeah still open. although a few months ago a car crashed into the side of the pub. has been fixed now and still open.

Its been knocked down.

Shame all that history just gone like that .....

@@joyfuladventureaudits If you follow our old pub crawl route, after 3A's along Adderley road a short walk to the Olive Branch. Continue up Adderley Road to the Denmark Inn on corner of Adderley Road and Landor St, then directly opposite to the Brittania Inn. then to home in Arden Rd. We'd sometime do it in reverse order as we lived in Arden Rd close to the Brit'. Then after 3A's walk down Adderley Road to Crawford St go to the Gas House, then along to the London Inn on the corner. Turn Right to Saltley Gate and have one in the Tilt Hammer. Then stagger over to the No. 8 bus stop, take bus to top of Arden Rd and wobble down the hill to home. This only happened on special occasions.
