The Woodman, Victorian pub and Grade II listed building in Digbeth, Birmingham, England.
The Woodman is a pub and Grade II listed building constructed from red brick and terracotta, featuring narrow windows above the entrance and wider windows with brick mullions across both floors. It occupies a corner position on the street, with its distinctive architecture forming a prominent part of the Digbeth streetscape.
The building was constructed between 1896 and 1897 for Ansells Brewery and received Grade II listed status in 1985. This designation recognized its importance as a late Victorian structure within Birmingham's industrial heritage.
The pub maintains its original Minton tilework and traditional Smoke Room, which show how Victorian-era public houses functioned as social spaces. The preserved interior details reveal the everyday habits and gathering patterns of people from that period.
Following a renovation in 2024, the pub operates under Union Inns management and features ten hand pumps for cask ales. The corner location makes it easy to spot and access from the surrounding streets.
The pub stands at the intersection of New Canal Street and the former Albert Street, positioned next to the disused Curzon Street railway station. This location connects the building's social history with Birmingham's railway era.
