History Social Afternoon (Birmingham branch)

We thought it would be a good idea to have a bit of a social afternoon, but to keep the history theme going we picked a historic pub; The Old Joint Stock.

This pub was originally designed as a library and was built in 1862. Later reincarnations of the building saw in become a bank, first as the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank and later as Lloyd's Bank. Today it retains some of the original features in what is now a very beautiful and atmospheric pub. As the Birmingham History Network moves forward into a new chapter with a new committee organising events we thought it would be a good idea to talk to our members and find out what events you would like to see from this group.

Have you got any suggestions of places you have always wanted to visit? Been somewhere fantastic and want to share it with others? It doesn't have to be Birmingham based and we are open to all suggestions!

In addition, would you like to see other events from the group? Lectures? Discussions over a pint? Perhaps you would like to visit archives and research some local documents about Birmingham? The committee would love to hear your suggestions so please bring them with you (and any leaflets if you've collected any).

Location: The Old Joint Stock, Birmingham.

Time and date: Saturday 5th September, 1500.

Organisers: Lars Kabel and Emma Roberts.
