Welcome Astwood,my daughter owns the old Forge in Jiggins Lane.

My two local watering holes were The Beeches and the Highlander, with an occasional foray into the Wood cock.

I like your similarity astwood, it's a nice comfortable place to be, but I wouldn't touch the beer and some of the custumers leave a bit to be desired.

Hi sheldonboy
It sounds like my local £2 a pint barnsley lager and a bunch of madheads

Astwood £2 a pint was that in this decade. I bought two pints of lager and a coke in brum on Saturday and it cost me £7.45.

Yes the 4% lager is £2 the 5% lager is £2-10p the wifes drink
nearly costs that Its a great pub all the old music on the box
some great people its like going back to the good days again

We used to have pubs like that in Brum. In fact we used to have pubs in Brum.
