On the corner with Ellbroad Street the old inn dating from 1606 was re-built in 1906,
and then demolished in 1954 to be replaced by shops which were removed in 1970 to
make way for the Holiday Inn. One of the posters on the wall of the pub is advertising
rugby matches to be played over the Easter holiday, they are Bristol versus Lennox,
Clifton, Pontypridd and Leicester, a smaller poster advertises Southern League soccer
games, Bristol Rovers versus ... Reading, Fulham and Portsmouth.
