You are right about the name change. I used to drink in the Eagle when i was about 17/18 in the mid 90's. The pub was very run down & in need of a refurb. It was refurbished sandblasted etc & re-named the new Eagle. But this did not save the pub from its problems. I remember the landlord running off with the takings & a drug bust when i was mistakenly accused of buying drugs from the front doors of the Eagle by the police.
