Some history of the Barrel Inn on Watery Lane at Bordesley in Birmingham in Warwickshire

The Barrel Inn was located on the eastern side of Watery Lane, on the south corner of Kingston Road.

The Barrel Inn was still a beer house when this inter-war photograph was taken for Ansell's Brewery Ltd. Thomas Smith was licensee at the time.

More information on the Barrel Inn on Watery Lane to follow. I probably created the page as I had a link to the Barrel Inn from another page. When building the site it is easier to place links as they crop up rather than go back later on. I realise this is frustrating if you were specifically looking for information on the Barrel Inn. There is information on Birmingham dotted around the website - click here for a suitable starting place.
