The Craven Arms

-
The Craven Arms is situated on the corner of Blucher Street and Gough Street and retains much of its former splendour. The Craven Arms has maintained its tiled mouldings, blue faience facade and the glazed wall mouldings which remain as rare advertisements for Holder's Ales. Holder's Brewery was based in Aston and was purchased by M&B in 1919. The signage above the Craven Arms on the more recent photograph state that the pub was established in 1838.
The first photograph was taken by Birmingham City Council Public Works Department circa 1950s-60s, and the second taken in November 2012.
