Birmingham pub in 1881

[Stovepipe]

Hi RootsChatters,

In the 1881 census Alfred STREET (b. 1841, Petworth Sussex) and his wife Ann are living at 39 Parade, Birmingham.  (RG11/2968/38/2)

Both have the occupation "Licensed Victualler".

I take it that means 39 Parade was a public house.  Does anybody know its name?

Cheers,
Stovepipe

Derek,

Thanks for giving me a better idea of the location - that helps.  But I took "39 Parade" to be the street address, not the pub name (why else would I have asked for the pub name  ).  Sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

Sue,

Thanks for your alternate reading of the 1881 census.  Does it really say "Petsworth"?  I used the LDS transcription - the place in Sussex has the name Petworth.

But I'd still like to know the name of the pub, if anyone can help.

Cheers,
Stovepipe

Hi Stovepipe,
                   You are correct no s in Petworth sorry about that. 
   
  It gives establishment, pub, as 39 Parade so this would be name of pub.

There's a picture of 'The Parade' in Birmingham here, but it doesn't show a pub ~ not even sure if it's the right parade:

Hello All
Derek & Tricia are correct.Parade was part of the main highway into B'ham from Smethwick Staffs.It consisted entirely of shops,businesses & obviously pubs.39 Parade is the address.
I can tell you that in 1896 it belonged to JH Forrester who sold Brittania metal wares.
Tricia...the photo you have is of the Parade..If my memory is correct I think I gave it to you...isn't your rellies false leg shop on it?
                                    Regards
                                       Jim
