This weeks Friday photo is of the stunning Victoria Pub which sits proudly on 48 John Bright Street in the City Centre. Its a theatre pub and dates back to the 19th Century. On a sunny day the gold letting around the door and frontage of the building looks wonderful. Its full of character inside and good example of one of Birmingham Victorian pubs.

Birmingham has a very interesting pub heritage I recently came across these fantastic old images of lost pubs of Birmingham.
