| 説明 | Views of The Holte pub from the corner of Trinity Road and Witton Lane. Villa Park is behind it (The Holte End stand).The Holte is a pub at the corner of Trinity Road and Witton Lane in Aston. It was formerly owned by Mitchells and Butlers. I was closed for around 30 years before being restored in 2007 (thanks to new chairman Randy Lerner).It is a Victorian building, dating from at least 1897. It was built as The Holte Hotel. It used to have 10 bedrooms, it's own 400 capacity music hall, billiard rooms and two bowling greens. The hotel, essentially a late Victorian pub, was located adjacent to Villa Park, one of the most historic stadiums in England.The name Holte is synonymous with Villa Park’s Holte End, which was once the largest Kop in the country. The massive Holte End stand used to hold up to 22,600 supporters. The Holte restorationThe Holte Hotel, which originates back to 1897, has been derelict and boarded up for 28 years until Villa's new billionaire owner Randy Lerner and his team sanctioned its restoration.The pub is seen as a local landmark and was once a popular drinking hole for fans until the late 1970s and will now give Villa Park an impressive facade. It is also the first glimpse visiting supporters have as they approach the ground in Aston from the M6 motorway.Birmingham Post Holte Hotel article |
