About

The Bartons Arms at Aston, Birmingham (1901) is the city's most-elaborate Edwardian pub — Minton tile work, etched and stained glass, snob screens between bars, and a Royal Doulton-style ceramic fireplace. Grade II*-listed; oddly survived the surrounding 1960s clearances. Now an Oakham Ales tied house.
