Aston Villa Related Things to Do and See in Birmingham, in No Particular Order An Aston Villa Fan Visitor’s Guide – 2016 Rev PA7 – 16th of January, 2016 This compilation was made by Villa Sweden fans for any Aston Villa fans, as a help for all those that are travelling to Birmingham (aka Brum), and perhaps need some tips’n’tricks on what to do, where to go and what to see… apart from visiting Villa Park of course . Villa Sweden Fan Club makes one trip per year to Birmingham. The trip normally attracts some 50-70 members. Any comments, and new information you would like to add, can be seen to [email protected]. Pls state “Travel Guide” in the subject line/heading. Aston Villa related things to do and see in Birmingham, in no particular order. 1. Go to Villa Park – obviously….. How do I get to Villa Park?: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/GettingToVillaPark/0,,10265,00.html If you’ll be taking the train, a piece of advice is to buy a return ticket. Or have very many coins for the ticket machines in the Witton/Aston unmanned train stations. 2. Take a Villa Park tour… you should if you can….. http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/StadiumTours 3. Visit the McGregor Statue outside Villa Park. He’s not the founder, but a true Villa hero…. http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/HistoryMcGregor http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/mobile/uk_news/england/west_midlands/8377219.stm “In 2008, the Aston Villa Supporters' Trust announced plans to further honour him with a bronze statue outside the stadium. The statue, by sculptor Sam Holland, is displayed outside the Directors' Entrance of the Trinity Road Stand, and was unveiled on 28 November 2009.” 4. Visit the William McGregor grave - St Mary's Church in Handsworth http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-16247593 Some 20 minutes easy walk from Villa Park. Why not put a flower on his and his wife’s grave, as a suggestion!? Map: https://www.google.se/maps/place/Saint+Mary's+Anglican+Parish+Church/@52.5107517,- 1.9261956,16z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4870bccdd95d366f:0xc86542cc6ab1755b The grave is found where the ”X” is marked on the below map: 5. Find any of the two bricks below, and admire the brick foundation around the McGregor statue The bricks have been bought by private persons, fan-clubs etc. to support the club. Here are two examples… can you find them? 6. Look for the Villa-82 star on 36-37 Broad Street: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Walk_of_Stars If you have a gps….. 52.47810°N 1.91054°W 7. Go to Bodymore Heath Training Ground - North Tamworth, Warwickshire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodymoor_Heath_Training_Ground Not sure if you can get in without an official invite or tour though. 23 km NorthEast of New Street. 8. Visit the copy of the lamp-post below which Aston Villa is said to have been founded, in 1874 http://www.myoldmansaid.com/aston-villa-celebrate-140th-anniversary-supporter-villa-park-lamp-post/ http://avillafan.com/site/16384/140-years-of-aston-villa/ http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/new-giant-lamp-shed-light-8151417 “Legend has it that on November 21, 1874, four members of the Wesleyan Chapel male adult bible class met under a gas lamp in Heathfield Road to form Aston Villa.” Now placed at the entrance of the Holte End, thus not the exact original place - which is not known, although it’s supposed to have been on the “top” of Heathfield Road. 9. Walk along Heathfield Road, where Aston Villa is said to have decided to take up association football rules – the true beginning of the club. Then look for Westminster Road where the first training session was held. 10. Go to Wilson Road, where the first Aston Villa game ever took place. The match took place on the 13th of March 1875 on “land belonging to a Mr Wilson in Birchfield, where Wilson Road now stands”. It was the only game that season. Here is a brief map which gives you some directions to items 4 and 8-11: Here’s a short summary of the historic events: http://www.lerwill-life.org.uk/astonvilla/av_edwards.htm 11. Try to find the place/spot where the Wesleyan Chapel was located, in Villa Cross, Handsworth http://billdargue.jimdo.com/placenames-gazetteer-a-to-y/places-v/villa-cross/ “On the corner of George Street and Lozells Road a Wesleyan Methodist chapel was built in 1865. Aston Villa football club was formed by members of the Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel cricket team, who were looking for a sport to play during the winter months. In 1962 the church building was bought by the New Testament Church of God, a Christian church of Caribbean origin. The building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a new church centre with extensive community facilities.” 12. Support our Villa ladies!!! http://ladies.avfc.co.uk/index.html#KZR5oWSPHxZMv4Rc.97 Aston Villa Ladies Football Club was formed in 1973 as Solihull FC. When Aston Villa asked for help in forming a ladies team in 1989, Solihull responded. They play at Sutton Coldfield Central Ground. 8 km NorthEast of New Street 13. A walk in the Park… well to Villa Park, from e.g. New Street along the canals. It’s approximately only a one hour walk: Perhaps not always scenic and sometimes a bit dirty … but a great walk. 14. Look for the home ground of Aston Villa from 1876 until 1897 - Wellington Road (Perry Bar). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Road_(Perry_Barr) It was a football ground in the Perry Barr area. No part of the ground remains today. 15. Visit the Villa shops, one in the centre of town (very near Bullring) and the other at Villa Park: City Centre - New Street A natural city centre stop for the Villa supporter is of course a visit to the official merchandise shop! It is smaller than the Villa Village (at VP) shop, but the two-storey shop has a wide selection anyhow. Opening hours in the city: Monday-Saturday 09:30 - 18:00, Sunday 11.00 - 15.00 (pls check the link below). http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/CityCentre Villa Park: Opening hours at Villa Park (Villa Village): Monday - Saturday 09:00 - 17:00, Sunday 10:00 -14:00 (pls check the link below). http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/VillaStores Pubs & Restaurants at Villa Park: http://www.avfc.co.uk/staticFiles/7d/3f/0,,10265~147325,00.pdf It is important to know that the member clubs at Villa Park get crowded rather quick so you must be there on time to get in. There is an entrance fee also. Normally there is some food served as well, not only drinks. You support the club by attending their pubs. Important: Do not forget to bring your membership card to the Lions Club pubs! Pubs near Villa Park: Apart from the obvious pubs in the Villa Park arena there are a few nearby… but not so many as you would think….. Also follow this link: http://188.65.112.140/~daftscou/steve/gwentvilla3.htm The Aston Tavern - Aston Hall Rd http://www.astontavern.co.uk/ Entrance fee. The Manor Tavern - 6 Portland Street Aston A quiet pub with a mature crowd who have seen Villa games all their lives…. The Bartons Arms - 144 High Street, Aston http://thebartonsarms.com/ A well-known Villa pub approximately half way to Villa Park from the City Centre. Often has live music and beer tasting. Good Thai menu in the dining area. A few years ago the regulars formed a human chain around the pub to protect it during some riots. The New Adventurers - Queens Row Always busy on match days, so arrive early to get in. Entrance fee. Witton Arms (The “away” team pub?) – 458 Witton Road (at the train station). https://www.facebook.com/witton.arms.3/?rf=111154672279994 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/villa-fans-fury-witton-arms-10063346 The Clements - 97 New Town Row If you make the canal walk to VP…. This is a water hole along the way. One fairly true comment on the internet is: “Probably looked exactly the same in 60s”. Other Brummie pubs and places worth a visit, just a short list (please see our additional pub compilation file also): The Old Crown – 188 High Street http://www.theoldcrown.com One of the oldest pubs in Britain, built in 1368. On the way there you pass through the Custard Factory, an old custard cream factory, now a culture centre. The Wellington – 37 Bennetts Hill http://www.thewellingtonrealale.co.uk A real Real ale pub. Here you won’t find any lager. So it’s the place to go if you would like to try a variety of ales. The Mailbox - 7 Commercial Street http://www.mailboxlife.com Shopping, food and pubs, here you have it all. A somewhat ”trendy” place south of Broad Street, often crowded. Two Tower Brewery – 51 Mott Street (?) http://twotowersbrewery.co.uk A Micro Brewery which many Villa Sweden members have visited during their stay in Brum. The Jam house - St Paul’s Square http://www.thejamhouse.com/birmingham/ Nice place with live music, dancing and something to drink. Popular, so be early or join the queue. What more is there to do in the Birmingham area? Here’s some information we’ve gathered, hopefully with something for all… But don’t forget to ask previous visitors if they have any ideas/suggestions. Here’s a general “official” tourist guide we recommend: http://visitbirmingham.com/what-to-do/attractions/ And a more “unofficial”: http://www.balti-birmingham.co.uk/visit/other-things-to-do Jewellery Quarter - Frederick Street http://visitbirmingham.com/what-to-do/shopping/jewellery-quarter http://www.jewelleryquarter.net/visit/ http://www.jewelleryquarter.net/visit/museums/museum-of-the-jewellery-quarter/ Close to the City Centre you find the Jewellery Quarter (7 minutes’ walk).
