Birmingham’s Civic Society has awarded the ‘2016 Renaissance Award’ to the former George & Dragon public house (now re-named The Pig & Tail) in Albion Street, after undergoing a total revamp.
The George & Dragon pub was featured in Kathleen Dayus’ books and a monument can be seen in the ‘Dayus Square’ which was named after her.
The Hockley Flyer magazine if entirely funded by the advertising, but we could always do with a little bit more funding. The advertising not only pays for the design/printing, but also postage, delivery, all the associated paperwork/accounts, and research for the Heritage section. Our subscribers pay only a bit more then the postage/mailing costs, and the magazines are free - no cover price.
