Railway pub, Birmingham.

Anybody of a certain age from anywhere near Brum will remember this place.
Thought I'd stick this on here for those who, like me, have fond memories of the place.

Ah yes, I remember it in the late 90's when I first moved up to Brum. Somewhat bittersweet memories due to personal connections and all that, but a great little venue and sadly missed.
I remember it standing alone in an industrial wasteland when all the surrounding buildings had been knocked down.

I regularly went to see the Handsome Beasts there in the 70s. It's sad that it's gone now.

I can't visualise where it is/was.

Curzon St, the road opposite where PMT is now.

I thought it was a Mexican restaurant by the late 90s. Was going strong in the very early 70s, probably the 60s but thats before my time.
Must be some kind of record for a venue to be open for that long.

Most of Brums big name bands/musos cut their teeth there,

I confess to having played there and gone to see bands there in the 70s - they had a wall with posters and I have a photo of it somewhere - included such people as Magnum IIRC.

Very sorry to see the place go [size=4] . Saw my first proper live band there, and was always fond of the place.[/size]
[size=4]When myself and a couple of mates decided to learn to play we couldn't wait to play there ourselves, [/size]
[size=4]have a lot of great memories of playing and seeing bands there![/size]
