Keep yer pecker up. etc "Dock Green", now that's one I do know, used to be Ashley Road bobby-hole. Got took in once as a kid by my mother when it was a police station, was shown the cells and told I would spend the rest of my life in one if I didn't mend my ways and quickly!Thanks for the words of consolation Jogon, much appreciated. Looks like I've pu t'cat amongst t'pigeons wi' this one! The one that rings a bell to me is the Admiral.I;m going back to the 60's for this one though! And , to cap it all it's a pub I've never been in!Anyway thanks to everybody who contributed to this mystery!

When I read stutterdog's query my immediate thought was that it was the Central Market pub. Its area at the junction of Central Street and Duncan Street has recently undergone renovation.

Hope I'm not just imagining this, but wasn't there a pub called the Admiral Hawke around the Duncan St/Central Rd area?

Great to see a bit of humour about the site people.The knowledge shared is the thing......very enlightening.

For younger readers the Central Market (which the pub was named after) used to be on corner oppo the Corn Exchange [see pic]. The only remaining nod to it is now Central Road.Born '60 (1960 that is!) I don't recall this pub but was a regular in Rawcliffes for school kegs etc.
