Amazing decoration on this Victorian theatre pub, which is still going strong. I'm not sure whether there is still a door in use behind the metalwork, but this certainly looks very attractive. John Bright Street was named after the well-known radical, who was elected as a Member of Parliament for Birmingham in 1858. He held this seat for over thirty years. He was a leading proponent for parliamentary reform, to make the representation more democratic, which led to the Reform Act of 1867. For more information and photos, please see:- Image
