Building recognised as an ‘exceptional example’ of early 20th-century public house architecture

The Craven Arms, a historic public house located in Birmingham’s city centre, has been granted grade II listed status by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, following the recommendation of Historic England.

Situated at the corner of Upper Gough Street and Blucher Street, the Craven Arms is noted for its distinctive two-tone tiled exterior. The building, designed between 1906 and 1910, is attributed to the local architect Arthur Edwards.

The pub’s ground floor is adorned with moulded and glazed ceramic tiles. The interior also retains several period features, including etched glass windows bearing the pub’s name.
