Question Author
Thank you both. I regularly visit the bar and have asked the Owner / Manager why the signs are there. He informed me that the signs were up when he bought the pub. He gave me the previous owners and I e-mailed them but did not get any reply. The leading living Birmingham historian knows of nowhere that produces replica street signs.
I know that I asked the question a while back but I hoped that someone new to AB could throw some light on it.
Also when I am back in Joe's next month, as I do on each visit there, I shall go round the bar again looking for "locals" and ask them...........
