Bowling green pavilion at the Three Magpies Public House

GV II
Bowling green pavilion, 1935, by Wood, Kendrick & Reynolds, for Mitchells and Butlers. Brown brick in Flemish bond, single storey, flat roofed pavilion built as part of the adjacent Three Magpies public house development. Three bays with semi-circular brick piers forming open loggia to changing rooms to rear. Terrazzo floor. Wide timber eaves with plain Moderne pattern. Later timber-framed, half-glazed forward projection to the front has enclosed the pavilion. Original iron gate and notice gives access to the Three Magpies beer garden.

Listed for group value, as a good demonstration of the 'Reformed' public house movement's interest in providing healthy alternative pursuits along with that of drinking. Original plans held by Birmingham City Council (Building Plan no. 62996, 3rd May, 1935).
