The Crown Inn, Birmingham, is now Grade II Listed! 🎉 Regarded as the birthplace of heavy metal music, it's been recognised for the role it played in the development of the genre and for launching the career of famous Birmingham based band @BlackSabbath. 🤘 © Elliott Brown
@HistoricEngland @BlackSabbath Does this designation protect the use, or just the building itself? If it's historic because of its role as a music venue, then surely it should be required to remain as such? Otherwise, what's the point of the listing?
@HistoricEngland @SAVEBrit @BlackSabbath Best track to celebrate this news? "You Won't Change Me" - ;-) genius.com/Black-sabbath-…
@HistoricEngland @BlackSabbath Awesome. Great news-Thankyou 🤟🏼 Now #SaveTheElectric please & Grade 2 list it. As you know it’s the oldest working cinema in the UK. A huge cultural asset from Brum. A cinema gem with so much history that needs protecting too.
@HistoricEngland @BlackSabbath excellent news! 👏🏼
@HistoricEngland @BlackSabbath Ozzy should buy it. Make a heavy metal museum/pub.
