WEST MIDLANDS - Birmingham, Northfield, Black Horse National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part Two Bristol Road South, Northfield, Birmingham, B31 2QT Tel: 0121 477 1800 Opening Hours: 7am to 12 midnight (1am Fri) Public Transport: Railway Station: Northfield Listed Status: Grade II CURRENTLY BEING RE-ASSESSED. A magnificent 1929 'Brewers Tudor' roadhouse, designed by Francis Goldsbrough of Batemans for Birmingham brewers Davenports. As such it is one of the largest pubs ever built. It has a wonderful timbered exterior with gables, carved woodwork, leaded glass, an original carved projecting sign, fine stonework and chimneys. At the rear is a bowling green with original stone-built pavilion and pergolas. There has been a lot of change on the ground floor but the baronial hall-style bar with notable timber ceiling at the rear is impressive. Even more so are the upstairs function rooms which it is well worth asking to see. After a refurbishment the pub re-opened as a Wetherspoon's on 23 July 2010. |
