A very classy touch from some of the biggest supporters of The Crown 🖤🦇🤘🏼
We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne. A true icon, his legacy began right here in Southside, where Black Sabbath played their first gig at The Crown. We’ve laid a wreath outside The Crown in his honour.

Something roar-some is coming to Southside… think you can guess the inspiration behind the design? #BullsInTheCity
Orange lion @TheArcadian @SouthsideDist during a bit of rain. Just watched one performance, with a bit of light rain.
The @BlackSabbath mural on Navigation Street (still to be finished) and The Crown @OldStationSt. Got on the way down to @SouthsideDist earlier from @NetworkRailBHM.
GREETINGS FROM @SouthsideDist. Hill Street opposite The Crown @OldStationSt by the @BlocHotelBham which was supposed to be built 4 or 5 years ago, but stalled for years. Still a surface car park behind there.
At @TheArcadian @SouthsideDist Chinese New Year in February 2025 and today Lion Dance Tournament UK 2025 in June 2025.
