| The baldwins, the hub of the locality. all alleyways on the bad side of the stratford road lead to the baldwins roundabout. I know that this is true from extensive BMX exploration in the late eighties. So you can imagine my delight when my bad teenage moustach finaly developed to the stage where i could convince the slightly mutated bar staff at the baldwins pub i was 18 years old. This pub is a living peice of history the building itself is listed. The architect, a mr Edwin Reynolds, designed this building in the 30's to look like half of the famous ship the queen mary. the other half of the ship is the three magpies in acocks green. God knows why they are so far apart? you would have thought that he would have done just one big pub that looked like the entire boat? Aallegedly he was a smack head. despite it's historic and listed status this pub is UGLY and fits in to the drab vaguely run down surroundings of the area well. Also for some reason when you enter this pub you enter a space untouched by modern dentsitry. thats right, not one full set of teeth in there. This pub has allways had a bad rep! the locals are of the rougher type and don't take kindly to outsiders! not sure what it is like now but at the weekends the whole place was literaly crawling with the smelly and rather grotty looking ofspring of the pubs gold nacklaced, tatooed necked clientel. so avoid at all costs if you dislike hoards of mini chavs The last time i was in there (about 8 years ago) me, my brother, and a good friend partook in the quiz our team was called "phil Mcrack" we took on the locals. Needless to say we lost. as usual! On the whole this pub and the people in it are an eyesore. CALCULON500 - 14 Feb 2006 21:17 |
