More about this scene

Hardly changed today, this substantial, good- looking pub still stands opposite Prince's Corner at the end of the High Street. This spot has been the terminus and turning point for buses from Birmingham city centre since the very first motor buses to serve Harborne departed the city in 1903, travelling (as they still do) via Five Ways and Edgbaston.

My dad Harry Kitchener Stacey worked part time as a bar man at the Duke. I remember coming on the bus from Bartly Green in the afternoons, sometimes after finishing his shift, dad would take me to the afternoon movies just around the corner.
