I reached my turnaround point at Perry Bar Station on a run covering the areas between there and Aston University. Thoroughly unimpressed with the neighbourhoods up to that point, I decided to cleanse the palate in the Arthur Robertson before looping back via Aston Villa FC’s stadium and the park adjacent.
Wetherspoon suffered a profit downturn of 19% and it looks like the bailiffs may have taken the second E in the sign as collateral.
Oh, Arthur Robertson was a medalist in the 1908 Olympics, from around Glasgow. From the looks of the crowd here, today, it’s not surprising they honour someone from so remote a location.
