The Malt House - pub sign
Heading from Broad Street, via the ICC, The Malt House towards Cambridge Street in Birmingham, on Remembrance Sunday.
Saw the pub sign for The Malt House as I made my way towards Cambridge Street.
The Malthouse is a new pub, but its name reflects the fact that a brewery stood near this spot. The pub itself is built into the shell of the Kingston Building, built in 1803 as a nail warehouse. If you look back as you cross the small footbridge you can see the old warehouse frontage, with its high sashed windows. The remains of loading bays can also be seen: many warehouses were built facing directly on to the canals, with loading bays giving direct access to the barges.
