The Cafe have been paying rent since 1991, I think the cost of new heating system would be a small price to pay compared to the cost of letting the whole area deteriorate. I also would like to say how much the staff at the Cafe enjoy their work. Who will look after them if the cafe closes?

Glad to see the building and it's current use preserved.

Thanks for the mention – and yes I do have a blog but it needs a little more work on it before it is allowed to make me look silly – but this week it should come out of the shadows

Yes the Friends’ is 110 years old while the Moseley Road has 26 listed buildings it is the only historical building on the road that is not listed

At the Birmingham Mail points out the Hall Green Constituency is thinking of closing it up for the winter as the boiler is past it’s sell by date and would cost £25,000 to replace, this in a city that has a £3 billion a year turnover

Up to 40 originations within the creative and educational sector some having been based there for decades may loose their home they love this includes the excellent Matchbox Café’ that is run by adults with leaning disabilities

Why not pay it a visit for lunch ?
