The Old Ship Inn, Birmingham, Prince Rupert's head-quarters, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Old Ship Inn, Birmingham, Prince Rupert's head-quarters, 1865. View of '...the Old Ship Inn, at Camp Hill, where Prince Rupert took up his head-quarters, in April, 1643, when he attacked the town of Birmingham with a force of 2000 horse and foot. Birmingham had sided with the Parliamentarians and made swords for their army. An obstinate resistance was made by the townsmen when Prince Rupert came to punish them for their share in the opposition to King Charles. After two hours' fighting, in which the Earl of Denbigh, Lord Digby, and Lord John Stewart fell on the Royalist side, the town was taken by assault, more than eighty houses destroyed by fire, and many of the townspeople slain. This was the battle of Birmingham, or, as it is sometimes called by the inhabitants of that town, the battle of Camp-hill'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

**A Historic Haven: The Old Ship Inn in Birmingham**
This photograph print captures a moment of significance at The Old Ship Inn, located on Camp Hill, Birmingham. In April 1643, Prince Rupert's headquarters during the English Civil War, this very inn was the site where he launched an attack against Parliamentarian forces with his army of 2000 horsemen and foot soldiers.
The photograph shows the half-timbered exterior of The Old Ship Inn in its heyday, complete with a cattle trough outside. This historic pub has been serving travelers since at least the 17th century, making it a testament to Birmingham's rich history. In this image from 1865, we see Prince Rupert's legacy still present as his headquarters stood tall.
The battle of Camp Hill was an intense and bloody conflict that saw over eighty houses destroyed by fire and many townspeople killed or wounded. The Old Ship Inn has witnessed countless stories unfold within its walls, making it a treasure trove for historians and enthusiasts alike. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the tumultuous times in which this iconic pub played host to royalty and revolutionaries alike.
