I worked at the Stag and Pheasant pub in 1982.  I remember it was run by a husband and wife and unfortunately the husband was very ill.

In 1944 that version of the Stag & Pheasant must've been a fairly new building. It was on the curve of Lower Parliament Street which was only extended down there in the late 30s.

 

There was an earlier version of the S & P which was demolished when Parliament Street went through the area.
