Pubs in Handsworth (S9 and S13)

• The Cross Keys (400 Handsworth Road) is the only pub in the UK built on holy ground (that of the neighbouring Saint Mary's Church). It is a very old building, but it has not always been a public house. The original structure was built in the mid-13th century though extensive re-building and modifications have occurred over its history. Initially it was used as a Church House for the chaplains and lay clerks attached to Saint Mary's Church. Later it was further modified and became a school, and finally, in 1804 it was granted an ale license and became a public house.
• The Turf Tavern (336 Handsworth Road) was originally attached to the old village smithy (demolished in 1926 during the construction of Laverack Street). Records show that it was already registered as a beerhouse in 1833.
