closed 20th October 1961
Market Ln?
grid reference TM 163 444 (approximate location)
Market Lane is shown here on an old OS map:
This pub stood somewhere under the present Buttermarket Centre, probably in Market Lane.
The Borough Police licensed premises register (1903-1923) shows that a beat bobby would have walked past it between the Grand Hotel and the Falcon (now Bowman's). Apparently there was an old gaol located in Market Lane.
