HOLT BREWERY PUBLIC HOUSES
“It would be easy to build another Pyramid of Giza or another Great Wall. But these buildings haven’t withstood the test of time because of their building quality. They stand tall because they have a symbolic value, they represent a culture.” Zhang Xin
Reflecting on the public houses of the past and their inherent, sometimes infamous stories, we are offered a window into time and a unique view of past history and pub culture. The Holt pubs were no exception, representing a microcosm of larger society and covering so many different facets. Despite the actual loss of so many pubs and historical buildings, a large number of photographs and stories have survived.
As a tribute to the Fulford Brewers and the Holt Brewery, many of their public houses have been featured and listed alphabetically in the latter part of this chapter. They have indeed ‘withstood the test of time’.
ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARKS:
There are a huge range and variety of buildings, some ancient, some Grade ll listed and some ‘lost giants’ such as The Stork which once towered over Corporation Street in central Birmingham. A range of outstanding buildings displaying extraordinary feats of architectural prowess. Buildings of great stature and design, some of which still stand and operate today. Others sadly lost at great cost to our cultural heritage.
THE OLDE CROWN INN Moat Lane, Digbeth c.1368
The Crown is the “Sole surviving secular building of medieval Birmingham“ (Wikipedia).
Above from the frieze of tiles in nearby Aston Hall showing Cavaliers walking in front of the Olde Crown.
It is rumored that Queen Elizabeth 1st stayed overnight at The Crown in 1575 and that there used to be a secret passage running to and from the cellars beneath The Crown to nearby Aston Hall.
Photograph of Queen Victoria’s royal visit to Birmingham in 1897 to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee.
THE TALBOT c.1531 20 (24) High St, Moat Lane, Digbeth
In 1871, William Hutton, (Birmingham’s first historian), reported that ‘John Cooper’ (See Joseph Fulford, 1812) was living at the Talbot, 20 High Street, 250 years prior. This would render The Talbot in existence c.@ 1531.
The pub was bombed during WWll leaving only the ground floor but Ansells’s continued to trade from this building until the 1960’s. It was then demolished, the pub licence and it’s name given to another nearby pub which was later renamed Bull Ring Tavern. Courtesy: Lost pubs project

SOCIAL CLIMATE:
Pubs and their culture may be viewed as a representation of wider society, encapsulating different themes and trends indicative of that particular time in history. Public houses were often named after important events or nearby industry. As such, public houses have their own established place in history and act as markers of such times, trends and social events. For example, those in the Gun Quarter or the Jewelry Quarter of Birmingham. This was particularly the case in industrial Birmingham and again the Holt pubs were no exception.
GUNMAKERS ARMS
Situated in the old Gun Quarter and is now the ‘tap’ of the Two Towers Brewery.
COACH MAKERS ARMS
Named after Saltley stage coach makers in 1862 which employed 1,300 people. Photograph can be viewed at midlandspubs.co.Uk

DUKE OF EDINBURGH 64 Birchall St c.1838 NP
The pub was named in honour of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Goth who became the Duke of Edinburgh after marrying Queen Victoria in 1840.
SAILOR’S RETURN, Watery Lane, demolished 1970’s/80s.
The pub was built by the vicar of Aston, Dr Spencer for a sailor named John Parkes who had served under the command of the Vicars officer son in the Battle of the Nile in 1798.
BRIDGE INN, MILL ST
Important meeting places for transportation with coach wagons stopping three times a week en route to Manchester.
BRIDGE INN later the HORSE AND JOCKEY
Meeting places for markets and auctioning crops.
“Auctions took place at the Horse and Jockey for crops grown at nearby small holdings such as Little Fulford Hall”. Midlandspubs.co.uk
“During the inter-war and postwar years the Horse and Jockey Inn was operated by the Holt Brewery company”. Reference Midlandspubs.co.uk
WAR CASUALTIES:
THE TALBOT
The second storey was destroyed by enemy action but continued to operate from just the first floor of the building. (See earlier).
WAGGON & HORSES Edgbaston Street NP
Was destroyed by enemy action in 1942.
GLOBE INN Hospital St,
Was bombed in 1940. Customers and staff survived in the cellar but the landlord and 3 other staff lost their lives.
FOX AND GRAPES
Provides photographs of WWII bomb damage. The landlady was Mary Fulford (1813), see John Fulford (1785).
THE GLOBE
The pub operated by Edwin Fulford (1822) was tenanted by famous screen writers who were aboard the Lusitania, sunk by a German torpedo, and narrowly escaped with their lives. See Edwin Fulford (1822) The Globe.
MORALITY AND SOCIAL CONSCIENCE:
The general ethos of the public houses often reflected the moral standards and social conscience of that particular period in history.
HOLT BREWERY
The Holt Brewery was operated by three generations of Fulford fathers and their sons (see Holt Lineage). In 1902 the Holt Brewery introduced the “Drunkards and Wayward Women”, ‘Black Book’. This book advertised drunkards and ‘wayward’ characters who were banned due to a variety of often repeated misdemeanors who subsequently suffered heavy penalty violations for reentry into the 250 plus Holt public houses.(See Holt Brewery).
BARTON ARMS
Within The Barton Arms and similar public houses of this time, there were divisions and separate areas where those considered more prestigious and of wealthier social standing could pay a bit extra for a beer and be separated by a ‘smoke screen’ from those unable to pay or considered less entitled. The Barton Arms original ‘smoke screens’ are possibly the last remaining in Birmingham today. There were also secret ‘snug’ rooms where men could hide and women could enjoy a secret ‘tipple’. During this period of history, it was considered ‘improper’ for ‘ladies’ to be seen in public houses. Such views would not be tolerated in our modern society but at the time attempted to preserve a form of ‘public decency’.
Comedians, Charlie Chaplin visited and Laurel and Hardy were reported to have stayed overnight and ‘pulled pints’ at The Barton Arms during their last world tour. The pub was also frequented by Black Sabbath and other famous people (see Thomas Fulford, 1818).

MUSIC :
Birmingham provided an energetic and fertile ground for many developing musicians and bands who went on to achieved subsequent international fame and notoriety. Abundant music scenes provided venues to initiate and promote now famous musical artists and comedians.
HOLT BREWERY, now THE GOSTA GREEN

Later they performed their debut here and had an ongoing residency as the Spencer Davis Group with Steve Winwood on keyboards. They produced iconic hits such as Gimme Some Lovin’ and Keep on Running and Steve Winwood went on to be an internationally acclaimed solo musical artist.
Iron Maiden and U2 also played at the Golden Eagle prior to their international success.
In 1973 the pub housed Birmingham Folk /Rock group Scotch Mist and many other folk groups.
Pete King operated a club night ‘Shoop Shoop’ from 1976-1979 and went on to manage Steel Pulse.

FOOTBALL
WITTON HOTEL Moor Lane, Witton
Run by Joe Beresford and two other West Bromwich Albion players Jimmy Logan and William Dugdale in the early 50’s.
VIOLENT EVENTS:
Public houses can often be the setting for violent events. Intoxicated individuals lose control of their behavior and become involved in dangerous and aggressive acts. Such events may lead to fines, incarceration and sometimes untimely deaths (see Edwin Fulford (1822) The Globe).
COMET THE OLD BULL RING
In 1886 Josiah Clarke landlord of the Comet went to the Turks Head Inn, Steelhouse Lane, already drunk and demanding payment of a debt of 2s.8d. He refused to leave and threatened to bite off the landlady’s nose but instead bit her finger. He then assaulted two others working in the pub whilst being thrown out and was subsequently fined £5. Courtesy: midlandspubs.co.uk

BREWER AND BAKER situated at Old Camp Hill
Recently within the basement of this now disused pub there was a pillory. A stock used to punish and humiliate wrong doers used as a mode of punishment from 1270-1830.

There are rumors that the pub is haunted by a woman searching for her lost child who fell down a well.
RED LION
Tales of Immurement (see Manchester pubs).
