Where is The Printmaker's Arms?

Former pub, now a street art house at 82 Fazeley Street, Digbeth, Birmingham B5 5RD. Corner of Andover Street.

 

In brief

Was a public house called The Royal Oak from about 1825 until 1936. The building was latterly used by a printing company. Since the 2000s this building has been a wall of art, regularly changed every few years. Was repainted in August 2023 again for the High Vis Street Culture Festival. Apparently now called The Printmaker's Arms.
