EDITORS COMMENTS
Time stands still as the final call echoes through the walls of one of Birmingham's oldest public houses. The Vine Inn, a cherished establishment on Vine Street in Lozells, has reached its last chapter as it prepares to be demolished and make way for a new housing estate. This 120-year-old gem holds countless memories within its worn wooden beams and frosted windows. In this print captured by the Birmingham Post and Mail Archive in November 1978, we witness a poignant moment shared between two men amidst the bittersweet atmosphere. Mr. Howard Eaton, hailing from Icknield Street, brings his harmonica along for a final serenade to bid farewell to an era gone by. The image transports us back to the vibrant social life of Birmingham in the 1970s when pubs were not just places for drinking but also hubs of community connection and musical expression. It serves as a reminder that these establishments hold more than just bricks and mortar; they are repositories of history, laughter, and camaraderie. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how our cities evolve while simultaneously preserving their heritage. May this memory serve as a tribute to all those who have raised their glasses at The Vine Inn throughout its long-standing existence.
