My Grandfather used to run a pub in Deritend (part of the Digbeth area) back in the 1920's. I have tried to find out info on the pub, but can't seem to come up with the info. The pub was called "The Sailors Return". Strange that - I have researched endlessly on the internet and the Central Library in Brum, all to no avail.

May be somebody might help me there!!!!

>>Whereas St Andrews is not far from the gay comspolitan area of the Coventry Rd; the spa facilities and atmosphere of Ballsall Heath are at hand; plus a friendly welcome awaits all round the corner in the Irish pubs of Digbeth - where traditional music and dancing provides a lighthearted backdrop to much of the high spirited behaviour.<<

You do make it sound lovely Al LOL
