King Edward VII no more - Aston, Birmingham
A view from the south-west of the former King Edward VII pub, dating from 1902, at the junction of Lichfield Road and Aston Hall Road, now demolished. In March 2015 there were plans to demolish this pub to allow remodelling of the road junction for the future building of an industrial park. City councillors were mistakenly told that the building, of considerable heritage value, was standing empty and derelict when it was in fact a thriving concern with caring owners. Negotiations were entered into between the owners and the City Council, who offered a move to the nearby Aston Tavern, which had been standing empty and derelict for a number of years. Agreement was reached and fixtures and fittings were moved from this pub to the Aston Tavern before the King Edward VII building was demolished in 2015. It has been said that had the pub stayed open, it would have been isolated after work on the junction had been carried out but it was a shame to see yet another of Birmingham's architectural heritage yield to the bulldozer when another solution might have been found. It seems demolition and development are not always the answer. Time taken 9.06 am GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).

Fuel stop, Lichfield Road, Birmingham
The petrol station and shop were busy. The truncated blue-brick chimney bears the words BROS LTD. An enquiry to Birmingham History Forum was answered with an extract from an old street directory, indicating that this had been the works of Emery Bros Ltd., metal rollers (Victoria Mills). https://birminghamhistory.co.uk/forum/index.php
