The Mount - 'Kingstanding Beer monsters on tour' flag

[Lucky Eddie]

Haven't seen that flag for yonks - anyone on here know those guys?

[Warren Aspinall]

I sometimes frequent the mount & live close by. Do you know there names as I probably know them.

Drank my first pint of M&B at the mount, age 14 them were the days, playing crib and dominoes with the old codgers in me Villa scarf after a match. Them lads knew a footballer or two :)

The place still there, how about the Beggars Bush and the Charlie ?

[dicedlam]

The Charlie is now is a bunch of maisonettes.
I can just imagine you now sfx412..pissed up and staggering through the gulley, on your way down Parkeston Cresent.

I take it you're talking about a pub? The Mount is a prison also.

No-he was talking about the prison

You quite often see flags from prisons up & down the country

The Charlie was shut down when the licence was revoked because of 'the trouble' there.  It then, ironically, re-opened as a boxing venue.  If there's fighting to be had, you might as well make it legal and make some money out of it.

The Mount had some strange Alpine theme in the lounge, like a scene from The Sound of Music, but they were never averse to serving the obviously under-aged so we put up with that.

The Bush was the place to be, with Shirley as the gaffer but with Des, the best barman in Birmingham, running the show.
 
As for the gulley, well if gulleys could talk.....

[dicedlam]

Always a difficult choice to be had at the Charlie on a Friday night.
Either down to the Old Crown, Perry Barr and a fight, followed by the Elbow, or 'Grab a Granny' night at the Tower Ball Room.
or..up the Bush for a drink and possibly pull a posh piece with a few bob, then onto the Belfry.

'Grab a Granny' was always the easiest option.

There were a few good bozers around, I spend a few drunken knights sleeping it off in the woods while on my way home from the Oscott Tavern, That place is now some sort of posh gaf, I think

Depending when you were there the Mount is now level with kings road. They levelled the "Mount" it was on and rebuilt the pub.
