I said I wanted to get more shots of it, and I have. It just so happened that the route I chose to walk from Digbeth to Eastside, led directly here (and on to Millennium Point).
In Eastside now.
It closed down more than a year ago, in late 2008.
The pub is famous for a UB40 music video being shot here in the 1980s. For their single Red Red Wine. It was also used as the cover of the UB40 Best Of album.

Our guide took us to the Hu Xue-Yan House on Hefang Street. It is not in Lonely Planet and was quite wonderful. Hu Xueyan (1823-1885), was a local celebrity and one of the richest and most famous businessmen in Qing Dynasty. In 1872, he built this house in Chinese style, with many pavilions, booths, bridges and rockeries. In reality not a house but a whole set of interlinked spaces. Masses to explore and quite wonderful.
