The condition
of this tavern was typical of buildings in this area which was cleared in the 1880’s
and 90’s to make way for the Fry‘s chocolate factories. Today it would be at the
junction of All Saints’ Street, Fairfax Street and Pithay. The landlord’s name on
the sign above the window is John Williams the pub’s last licensee.
