Dead Wax Digbeth - history and details
There has been a public house on this site on Adderley Street since the middle of the 19th Century.
It used to be spelled "Waggon & Horses".
A change in ownership in the 1980s led to the pub being renamed to The Cannonball.
But by the early 2000s, another ownership change and it became The Wagon & Horses again.

The pub was still The Wagon & Horses until sometime in 2019.
But another ownership change led to it becoming Dead Wax Digbeth.
The pub is now a live music venue, and at opening they used to serve pizza.
But they haven't served food in a few years now.
The pub has street art on the side of the building, and it is painted black.
