Give us a shout on PM then. Just don't bring 20 drunken yoofs that want to sing!

The barmaid in there told me that they kept the snob screens so the H&V collective could use them when any undesirables came in.

Sacred Heart is a 10 min walk from Trinity Road gates. Not sure how that isn't close. Barton's is probably double that.

Is that the one just up the road from The Brittania ?
Sounds like arson

I'd have preferred to go in the cannabis factory next door.

They reckon it could be caused by the heat from the cannabis farm.

A cannabis factory was discovered in an office building sited next door to a fire-hit pub favoured by Villa fans.

The “substantial” haul was found after emergency services attended the blaze at the Manor Tavern, in Aston, which raged for more than two hours.

The cannabis crop was later discovered in the adjoining property.

A source said a possible cause of the fire was heat used to grow the cannabis factory at the two-storey, semi-detached building.

An upstairs bedroom at the pub was gutted and the first-floor badly damaged by smoke after the blaze started at about 8.15pm on Wednesday.

About 15 firefighters using breathing apparatus tackled the fire at the premises in Portland Street.

Specialist ventilation equipment was also employed to disperse the thick smoke.

There were no reports of injuries.

A spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said: “We had a call from the fire service to a report of a fire in the living quarters of the Manor Tavern.

“Subsequently a cannabis factory was found in an adjacent property.

“We made our cannabis disposal aware and officers attended the scene.”

The spokeswoman added a “substantial” amount of cannabis had been discovered at the property.

Police were waiting for the power supply to be made safe, so they could carry out a thorough search of the building.

The property has a “for sale/to let” sign advertising it as office space but it was unclear who owned the building and if it was being used for commercial or residential purposes.

The Manor Tavern lies around a mile from Villa Park and is popular with claret and blue fans. No one at the pub could be reached for comment.
