Just as a matter of interest, as a Bearwood lad, where was the Warley Odeon?

The Digbeth flyover is still used as a landmark in our household.

On the crossroads by McDonalds, and the former Jonathans site. Opposite the Amber Tavern. Tricorn House sits there now.

Can anyone remind me of the name of The Amber Tavern before it was tarted up? I recall it was a rough hole.

The Warley Bowl ,The border between the Smethwick Mob & the Quinton Mob
I was only a young lad in the early 70s , but witness many a battle around that area.

Seem to remember if you were Smethwick you wore red Socks , while Quinton wore light Blue.

I still refer to Miller and Carter as the Cock and Maggies, it’s where most of my youth was spent!
