A few people have mentioned this pub which was next to the Gainsborough Cinema - on both the Lost Pubs and Lost Cinemas thread. I've just found this pic on Leodis which might stir some memories ( the Gainsborough Cinema is directly to the right of the pub - sadly you can only see a tiny bit of it)

there are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don't and those that think this a joke about the binary system.

Looks similar to the Eagle on North Street that pub in the picture. Wonder if there is any relationship betwen the two? Architechts or owners or something?

Could be, but I think the similarity is purely due to them being a similar age, at a guess. The Eagle, however, is three stories and has bay windows. Are they both early Victorian?
