This was a famous ( infamous ? ) drinking pub. I recall its walls inside being brown with nicotine and covered with very old pictures, well posed, of a previous landlord who was one of the last of the "bare knuckle fighters" whose son, I believe, took the pub over and was an equally hard man who regularly flung men out onto the street. He refused me a beer saying "I'm not having your dad coming in here cos of you !!!" That was it, I never did get a beer in the old place as he "escorted" me out.
