Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, by Tyburn Bridge. The buildings are to the rear of The Tyburn House, one of the "Sizzling Pubs" chain of eating houses on Kingsbury Road. There is plenty of cheap quick pub food. However, the website promises: "here at The Tyburn House you'll find everything you'd expect from a traditional local pub in Castle Vale - but with a bit of added sizzle". When I went there, that included (traditional) Banks's Bitter served at the temperature of a extra cold lager, and the bar staff seemed to think that was perfectly acceptable. Has it improved yet? Ale drinkers beware.
