The Arabian Arms was situated at 234 Cambridge Heath Road. This pub was established by 1869 and was rebuilt in its present form in 1902.  It was a Watney’s Brewery pub and had been renamed Beachcomber by 1983.  It then went through a spell named Martin’s and by 1993 had become Metropolis, a ‘gentlemen’s club’ – it continues in that guise today.
