It certainly feels like one at the moment.
Whilst in The Spotted Dog last night a guy told me his take on the origins of the name Digbeth. According to him, Digbeth used to be wet marshland ducks loved to wash themselves in. Hence Duck Bath, which became Digbeth. John Mostyn was unconvinced by this explanation, but I’m blogging it anyway because I want it to be true.

Me too! Let’s start a campaign to get it put back to the original name – yes, we might lose millions of pounds of investment but it’d be worth it.
What is your opinion?
