Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Is this who (or what) it's named after ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Pry_(play) Upper Eldon Street is still there, but Camden Street and Byron Street aren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hadn't realised the pub was so close to Upper Eldon Street, which is where my Mum lived until she was 11 or 12. Knew the street was still there, but her house is long gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Emily may Corbett was my grandmother and ran the pub for 13 years. From late 30’s to early 50’s.
