My great grandmother's brother was once 'publican's assistant' to his cousin Edward Flowers who ran the Criterion. They lived at 13, Museum Street, which presumably was the address also of the pub? Edward died in 1908 and I believe the pub closed not long after.From Rod Cross

Te closure date was recorded in the Borough Police licensed premises register 1903-1923.
