The scaffolding also came down on Devonshire House.I got off my bus, and took these shots of The White Swan on Bradford Street, on the corner with Birchall Street.Haven't seen much of the main Digbeth High Street since my bus route switched to going up Bradford Street.I am thinking of one day properly doing Bradford Street, but not yet.Note: I got two pubs called The White Swan. This one and one in Ladywood. Although I prefer this one to the one on Grosvenor Street West (near Broad Street and Sherborne Wharf).It is a Grade II listed building.Public house. 1899-1900 by James and Lister Lea for Ansells Brewery.Red brick and terracotta (terracotta probably from Hathern Station.Brick and Terracotta Company of Loughborough).
